Popis: Cyclophilin A (CypA) is necessary for effective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication. However, the functions of CypA and the precise steps at which CypA acts in the HIV-1 life cycle remain to be determined. By using a methodology that bypasses the need for attachment factors—spinoculation—we present evidence that CypA participates in both entry and postentry events.
