| Abstract: | The process of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) cell entry was examined using assays for virus replication intermediates. FIV subtype B was found to utilize the chemokine receptor CXCR4, but not CCR5, as a cellular receptor. Zidovudine blocked formation of late viral replication products most effectively, including circular DNA genome intermediates. Our findings extend the role of CXCR4 as a primary receptor for CD4-independent cell entry by FIV. |
