Most studies looking at CD4-independent infection have used laboratory strains or their respective molecular clones. To determine whether primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates could infect CD4-negative cells, we obtained a panel of 23 clinical isolates and characterized the early steps of the viral life cycle in SK-N-MC cells, a CD4-negative, galactosylceramide-positive neuroblastoma cell line. Eight of 23 isolates established a nonproductive infection; entry and postentry restrictions were noted in the others. We were unable to correlate the infectivity for SK-N-MC cells with established biological phenotypes, such as syncytium induction, or with genetic classifications, suggesting that pantropism is an independent biological variable.
大多数关于不依赖CD4感染的研究都使用了实验室菌株或其各自的分子克隆。为了确定原发性人类免疫缺陷病毒1型分离株是否能感染CD4阴性细胞,我们获得了一组23个临床分离株,并对其在SK-N-MC细胞(一种CD4阴性、半乳糖神经酰胺阳性的神经母细胞瘤细胞系)中病毒生命周期的早期步骤进行了表征。23个分离株中有8个建立了非生产性感染;在其他分离株中发现了进入和进入后限制。我们无法将SK-N-MC细胞的感染性与既定的生物学表型(如合胞体诱导)或基因分类相关联,这表明泛嗜性是一个独立的生物学变量。
