-like restriction of N-tropic replication-competent murine leukaemia viruses in mCAT-1-expressing human cells Free

Abstract

To study the replication of murine leukaemia viruses in human cells we have used full-length as well as EGFP-tagged ecotropic viruses in combination with mCAT-1-expressing human cells. We present results showing that N-tropic murine leukaemia viruses are restricted in both infection and replication in such cells while B-tropic viruses, modified at capsid position 110, escape restriction. These results support a recently reported -like restriction in mammalian cells. We extend the analysis of -like restriction by demonstrating that NB-tropic viruses also escape restriction and human mCAT-1-expressing cells are thus similar to murine cells with respect to infection though the ecotropic receptor pathway.
