Altered CD4 interactions of HIV type 1 LAI variants selected for the capacity to induce membrane fusion in the presence of a monoclonal antibody to domain 2 of CD4.

We selected HIV-1-LAI variants with the ability to induce syncytium formation of C8166 cells in the presence of a monoclonal antibody (MAb), 5A8, to domain 2 of CD4. Five biologically cloned variants with at least 60-fold greater resistance than wild type to 5A8-mediated inhibition of syncytium form...
