| Abstract | The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4, in combination with CD4, mediate cellular entry of macrophage-tropic (M-tropic) and T-cell-tropic strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), respectively, while dualtropic viruses can use either receptor. We have constructed a panel of chimeric viruses and envelope glycoproteins in which various domains of the dualtropic HIV-1DH12 gp160 were introduced into the genetic background of an M-tropic HIV-1 isolate, HIV-1AD8. These constructs were employed in cell fusion and virus infectivity assays using peripheral blood mononuclear cells, MT4 T cells, primary monocyte-derived macrophages, or HOS-CD4 cell lines, expressing various chemokine receptors, to assess the contributions of different gp120 subdomains in coreceptor usage and cellular tropism. As expected, the dualtropic HIV-1DH12 gp120 utilized either CCR3, CCR5, or CXCR4, whereas HIV-1AD8 gp120 was able to use only CCR3 or CCR5. We found that either the V1/V2 or the V3 region of HIV-1DH12 gp120 individually conferred on HIV-1AD8 the ability to use CXCR4, while the combination of both the V1/V2 and V3 regions increased the efficiency of CXCR4 use. In addition, while the V4 or the V5 region of HIV-1DH12 gp120 failed to confer the capacity to utilize CXCR4 on HIV-1AD8, these regions were required in conjunction with regions V1 to V3 of HIV-1DH12 gp120 for efficient utilization of CXCR4. Comparison of virus infectivity analyses with various cell types and cell fusion assays revealed assay-dependent discrepancies and indicated that events occurring at the cell surface during infection are complex and cannot always be predicted by any one assay. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
