Popis: | A mouse model of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection would be extremely valuable for evaluation of therapies and vaccines; however, multiple blocks to productive infection of NIH 3T3 and other mouse cell lines have been reported. The authors investigated the replication of HIV-1 in primary mouse astrocytes, lymphocytes, and macrophages in culture by infection with intact HIV-1 pseudotyped with the vesicular stomatitis virus G envelope glycoprotein (VSV-G) or with the envelope glycoprotein of amphotropic murine leukemia virus. Astrocytes, lymphocytes, and macrophages were susceptible to productive infection as variously assayed by detection of p24 and Tat proteins, viral protease-mediated processing of Gag, appropriately spliced viral RNA, and infectious progeny virus. As expected, NIH 3T3 cells were not susceptible to productive infection by VSV/NL4. Susceptibility mapped neither to the Fv locus nor to a possible polymorphism in cyclin T1. This study indicates that there are no intrinsic intracellular barriers to HIV-1 replication in primary mouse cells when virus entry is efficient. |
