Arecent Journal of Virology article by Herold and colleagues (1) addresses the controversial
issue of the HIV-1 entry pathways. Two lines of evidence led the authors to conclude that …

With this letter, we would like to respond to the letter by Marin and Melikyan (1) critiquing our
recently published work on the contribution of endocytotic uptake to productive HIV-1 …

The HIV-1 entry pathway into permissive cells has been a subject of debate. Accumulating
evidence, including our previous single virus tracking results, suggests that HIV-1 can enter …

Cytoplasmic entry of HIV-1 requires binding of the viral glycoproteins to the cellular receptor
and coreceptor, leading to fusion of viral and cellular membranes. Early studies suggested …

Virions of the type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) can enter target cells by fusion
or endocytosis, with sharply different functional consequences. Fusion promotes productive …

Enveloped viruses that rely on a low pH-dependent step for entry initiate infection by fusing
with acidic endosomes, whereas the entry sites for pH-independent viruses, such as HIV-1 …

Enveloped viruses enter target cells by membrane fusion or endocytosis. In the latter case,
fusion of the viral envelope is induced by the acidic pH of the endocytic vesicle [1]. As with …

ABSTRACT HIV-1 can be transmitted as cell-free virus or via cell-to-cell contacts. Cell-to-cell
transmission between CD4+ T cells is the more efficient mode of transmission and is …

Productive entry of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is believed to occur by direct fusion
at the plasma membrane. Endocytic uptake of HIV particles has been observed in several …
