Direct cell-to-cell spread of animal viruses in solid tissues is a complex, poorly understood
process. A number of viruses have become very adept at moving from an infected cell to an …

Cells of the immune system communicate via the formation of receptor‐containing adhesive
junctions termed immunological synapses. Recently, retroviruses have been shown to …

Direct cell–cell transfer is an efficient mechanism of viral dissemination within an infected
host, and human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) can exploit this mode of spread …

Contact between various epithelial cell lines and HIV chronically infected mononuclear cell
lines results in a massive and rapid budding of HIV virions toward the epithelium followed by …

The migration capability of dendritic cells (DCs) is regulated by their response to factors,
namely chemokines, that characterize maturation stage and shape their functional activities …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) acquires several host cell membrane proteins
when it buds from infected cells. To study the effect of virally incorporated host-derived ICAM …

Cell-to-cell viral transmission facilitates the propagation of HIV-1 and human T cell leukemia
virus type 1. Mechanisms of cell-to-cell transmission by retroviruses were not well …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of CD4+ T cells leads to the
production of new virions that assemble at the plasma membrane. Gag and Env accumulate …

Macrophages are considered of central importance in cell-to-cell transmission of human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in vivo. In this report, we describe a novel cell-to-cell …

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) incorporates several host-derived
proteins during the budding process. Here, Michel Tremblay and colleagues review recent …
