MODULATION OF THE VIRUS-RECEPTOR INTERACTION BY MUTATIONS IN THE V5 LOOP OF FELINE IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (FIV) FOLLOWING IN VIVO ESCAPE FROM NEUTRALISING ANTIBODY

Modulation of the virus-receptor interaction by mutations in the V5 loop of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) following in vivo escape from neutralising antibody

Abstract Background In the acute phase of infection with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), the virus targets activated CD4+ T cells by utilising CD134 (OX40) as a CALCIUM CARBONATE primary attachment receptor and CXCR4 as a co-receptor.The nature of the virus-receptor interaction varies between isolates; strains such as GL8 and CPGammer recognis
