Delineating CD4 dependency of HIV-1: Adaptation to infect low level CD4 expressing target cells widens cellular tropism but severely impacts on envelope functionality
A hallmark of HIV-1 infection is the continuously declining number of the virus’ predominant target cells, activated CD4(+) T cells. With diminishing CD4(+) T cell levels, the capacity to utilize alternate cell types and receptors, including cells that express low CD4 receptor levels such as macroph...
