Abstract
The productive infection of human monocyte-derived macrophages (Mphi) by HIV was suppressed by primary CD8+ cells from asymptomatic HIV-infected individuals. This anti-HIV response was noncytotoxic; removal of the CD8+ cells from the infected Mphi leads to virus production. CD8+ cells inhibited HIV replication when separated from the infected Mphi by a transwell filter insert, indicating a diffusible factor made by the CD8+ cells suppressed productive infection of Mphi. Three beta-chemokines, which can be secreted by activated CD8+ cells, RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha and MIP-1beta prevented HIV replication in the Mphi cultures. In addition, incubation of acutely infected Mphi with a mixture of neutralizing antibodies to RANTES, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-1beta enhanced virus replication. Nevertheless, neutralization of beta-chemokines with specific antibodies did not abolish the suppression by CD8+ cells of HIV replication in Mphi. Thus, even though beta-chemokines decrease HIV replication in Mphi, these cytokines are not responsible for the ability of CD8+ cells to inhibit HIV production in these cells.

Abstract
The beta-chemokines RANTES, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-1beta have been shown to inhibit the infection of T cells by macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains by blocking env-driven HIV-1 fusion through competition for the chemokine receptors or receptor downregulation. This study was aimed at testing whether beta-chemokines also inhibit the productive infection of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) by a monocytotropic HIV-1 strain, by using virus yield assays. The action of the beta-chemokines MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, and RANTES was captured with that of the alpha-chemokine interleukin 8 (IL-8) and of interferon alpha (IFN-alpha), which is a well-known broad-range inhibitor of viral replication. While IL-8 did not inhibit HIV-1 BaL replication in MDMs, the beta-chemokines were dose-dependently inhibitory. RANTES was the most effective, reaching at 300 ng/ml a protection similar to that obtained with IFN-alpha at 1000 IU/ml, and was even more inhibitory when added to MDMs after virus attachment. In contrast to IFN-alpha, the antiviral activity of beta-chemokines was restricted to HIV, because another virus was not inhibited. As compared with untreated MDMs, full-length proviral DNA at day 1 postinfection was inhibited in MDMs treated with RANTES either before or after the absorption phase, and even more so in IFN-treated MDMs, whereas in IL-8-treated MDMs no inhibition was observed. Our results indicate that in MDMs both RANTES and IFN affect early steps of HIV-1 BaL replication, preceding the completion of viral DNA synthesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN To study, in T-lymphoid cells, the effects of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, MIP-1beta and RANTES beta-chemokines on the replication of T-cell-tropic HIV-1 strains, since it has been reported that beta-chemokines interfere with the replication of macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains, but not T-cell-tropic strains. METHODS Freshly phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-activated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and cultured PHA-activated T cells from healthy volunteers, as well as the C8166 T-cell line, were treated overnight with beta-chemokines before infection with T-cell-tropic HIV-1 isolates, or human T-lymphotropic virus type IIIB. HIV replication was followed by detecting the production of infectious particles, p24 antigen, and viral sequences. CXC-chemokine receptor (CXCR)-4 expression was followed by detection and quantification of specific transcripts. RESULTS Pretreatment of T cells with MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta and RANTES affected T-cell-tropic strains, increased the replication of HIV-1beta and HIV-1RPdT strains dose-dependently, as well as virus absorption and provirus DNA accumulation. These findings were associated with increased accumulation of CXCR-4 transcripts, and mediated by the protein tyrosine kinase signalling. Moreover, beta-chemokines stimulated PBL proliferation. CONCLUSIONS Beta-chemokines increase the adsorption and replication of at least some T-cell-tropic HIV-1 strains, and this is related to stimulated expression of the CXCR-4 coreceptor.

Abstract
The CC-chemokine receptor CCR5 is required for the efficient fusion of macrophage (M)-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains with the plasma membrane of CD4+ cells and interacts directly with the viral surface glycoprotein gp120. Although receptor chimera studies have provided useful information, the domains of CCR5 that function for HIV-1 entry, including the site of gp120 interaction, have not been unambiguously identified. Here, we use site-directed, alanine-scanning mutagenesis of CCR5 to show that substitutions of the negatively charged aspartic acid residues at positions 2 and 11 (D2A and D11A) and a glutamic acid residue at position 18 (E18A), individually or in combination, impair or abolish CCR5-mediated HIV-1 entry for the ADA and JR-FL M-tropic strains and the DH123 dual-tropic strain. These mutations also impair Env-mediated membrane fusion and the gp120-CCR5 interaction. Of these three residues, only D11 is necessary for CC-chemokine-mediated inhibition of HIV-1 entry, which is, however, also dependent on other extracellular CCR5 residues. Thus, the gp120 and CC-chemokine binding sites on CCR5 are only partially overlapping, and the former site requires negatively charged residues in the amino-terminal CCR5 domain.

Abstract
We have studied the breadth and potency of the inhibitory actions of the CC chemokines macrophage inhibitory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha), MIP-1beta, and RANTES against macrophage-tropic (M-tropic) primary isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and of the CXC chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha against T-cell-tropic (T-tropic) isolates, using mitogen-stimulated primary CD4+ T cells as targets. There was considerable interisolate variation in the sensitivity of HIV-1 to chemokine inhibition, which was especially pronounced for the CC chemokines and M-tropic strains. However, this variation was not obviously dependent on the genetic subtype (A through F) of the virus isolates. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell donor-dependent variation in chemokine inhibition potency was also observed. Among the CC chemokines, the rank order for potency (from most to least potent) was RANTES, MIP-1beta, MIP-1alpha. Some M-tropic isolates, unexpectedly, were much more sensitive to RANTES than to MIP-1beta, whereas other isolates showed sensitivities comparable to those of these two chemokines. Down-regulation of the CCR5 and CXCR4 receptors occurred in cells treated with the cognate chemokines and probably contributes to anti-HIV-1 activity. Thus, for CCR5, the rank order for down-regulation was also RANTES, MIP-1beta, MIP-1alpha.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that the beta-chemokines RANTES, MIP-1alpha, and MIP-1beta suppress human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in vitro and may play an important role in protecting exposed but uninfected individuals from HIV-1 infection. However, levels of beta-chemokines in AIDS patients are comparable to and can exceed levels in nonprogressing individuals, indicating that global beta-chemokine production may have little effect on HIV-1 disease progression. We sought to clarify the role of beta-chemokines in nonprogressors and AIDS patients by examination of beta-chemokine production and HIV-1 infection in patient T-lymphocyte clones established by herpesvirus saimiri immortalization. Both CD4+ and CD8+ clones were established, and they resembled primary T cells in their phenotypes and expression of activated T-cell markers. CD4+ T-cell clones from all patients had normal levels of mRNA-encoding CCR5, a coreceptor for non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) HIV-1. CD4+ clones from nonprogressors and CD8+ clones from AIDS patients secreted high levels of RANTES, MIP1alpha, and MIP-1beta. In contrast, CD4+ clones from AIDS patients produced no RANTES and little or no MIP-1alpha or MIP-1beta. The infection of CD4+ clones with the NSI HIV-1 strain ADA revealed an inverse correlation to beta-chemokine production; clones from nonprogressors were poorly susceptible to ADA replication, but clones from AIDS patients were highly infectable. The resistance to ADA infection in CD4+ clones from nonprogressors could be partially reversed by treatment with anti-beta-chemokine antibodies. These results indicate that CD4+ cells can be protected against NSI-HIV-1 infection in culture through endogenously produced factors, including beta-chemokines, and that beta-chemokine production by CD4+, but not CD8+, T cells may constitute one mechanism of disease-free survival for HIV-1-infected individuals.

Abstract
Human chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) functions as a co-receptor for Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. CCR5 is a seven-transmembrane cell surface receptor. Recently, a naturally occurring mutation of CCR5, ccr5Delta32, has been described. A small number of Caucasians are homozygously ccr5Delta32/ccr5Delta32, while a larger number of individuals are heterozygously CCR5/ccr5Delta32. The ccr5Delta32/ccr5Delta32 genotype has been linked to a phenotype that is "highly" protected from HIV-1 infection. On the other hand, several studies have shown that the CCR5/ccr5Delta32 genotype confers "relative" protection from AIDS with onset of disease being delayed by 2-4 years. Although it is known that peripheral blood lymphocytes from heterozygous individuals (CCR5/ccr5Delta32) support ex vivo HIV-1 replication at a reduced level compared with CCR5/CCR5 cells, the molecular basis for this observation is unknown. Here we report on events that post-translationally modify CCR5. We show that CCR5 progresses through the endoplasmic reticulum prior to appearing on the cell surface. Mature CCR5 can be post-translationally modified by phosphorylation and/or co-translationally by multimerization. By contrast, mutant ccr5Delta32, although retaining the capacity for multimerization, was incapable of being phosphorylated. ccr5Delta32 heterocomplexes with CCR5, and this interaction retains CCR5 in the endoplasmic reticulum resulting in reduced cell surface expression. Thus, co-expression in cells of ccr5Delta32 with CCR5 produces a trans-inhibition by the former of ability by the latter to support HIV-1 infection. Taken together, our findings suggest CCR5/ccr5Delta32 heterodimerization as a molecular explanation for the delayed onset of AIDS in CCR5/ccr5Delta32 individuals.

Abstract
Following the identification of the C-C chemokines RANTES, MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta as major human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ T cells, several chemokine receptors were found to serve as membrane co-receptors for primate immunodeficiency lentiretroviruses. The two most widely used co-receptors thus far recognized, CCR5 and CXCR4, are expressed by both activated T lymphocytes and mononuclear phagocytes. CCR5, a specific RANTES, MIP-1alpha and MIP-1 receptor, is used preferentially by non-MT2-tropic HIV-1 and HIV-2 strains and by simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), whereas CXCR4, a receptor for the C-X-C chemokine SDF-1, is used by MT2-tropic HIV-1 and HIV-2, but not by SIV. Other receptors with a more restricted cellular distribution, such as CCR2b, CCR3 and STRL33, can also function as co-receptors for selected viral isolates. The third variable region (V3) of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1 has been fingered as a critical determinant of the co-receptor choice. Here, we document a consistent pattern of evolution of viral co-receptor usage and sensitivity to chemokine-mediated suppression in a longitudinal follow-up of children with progressive HIV-1 infection. Viral isolates obtained during the asymptomatic stages generally used only CCR5 as a co-receptor and were inhibited by RANTES, MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta, but not by SDF-1. By contrast, the majority of the isolates derived after the progression of the disease were resistant to C-C chemokines, having acquired the ability to use CXCR4 and, in some cases, CCR3, while gradually losing CCR5 usage. Surprisingly, most of these isolates were also insensitive to SDF-1, even when used in combination with RANTES. An early acquisition of CXCR4 usage predicted a poor prognosis. In children who progressed to AIDS without a shift to CXCR4 usage, all the sequential isolates were CCR5-dependent but showed a reduced sensitivity to C-C chemokines. Discrete changes in the V3 domain of gp120 were associated with the loss of sensitivity to C-C chemokines and the shift in co-receptor usage. These results suggest an adaptive evolution of HIV-1 in vivo, leading to escape from the control of the antiviral C-C chemokines.

Abstract
Several members of the chemokine receptor family have been shown to function in association with CD4 to permit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry and infection. The CXC chemokine receptor CXCR4/fusin is a receptor for pre-B cell growth stimulating factor (PBSF)/stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and serves as a coreceptor for the entry of T cell line-tropic HIV-1 strains. Thus, the development of CXCR4 antagonists or agonists may be useful in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. T22 ([Tyr5,12,Lys7]-polyphemusin II) is a synthesized peptide that consists of 18 amino acid residues and an analogue of polyphemusin II isolated from the hemocyte debris of American horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus). T22 was found to specifically inhibit the ability of T cell line-tropic HIV-1 to induce cell fusion and infect the cell lines transfected with CXCR4 and CD4 or peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In addition, T22 inhibited Ca2+ mobilization induced by pre-B cell growth stimulating factor (PBSF)/SDF-1 stimulation through CXCR4. Thus, T22 is a small molecule CXCR4 inhibitor that blocks T cell line-tropic HIV-1 entry into target cells.

Abstract
The beta-chemokine receptor CCR-5 is essential for the efficient entry of primary macrophage-tropic HIV-1 isolates into CD4(+) target cells. To study CCR-5-dependent cell-to-cell fusion, we have developed an assay system based on the infection of CD4(+) CCR-5(+) HeLa cells with a Semliki Forest virus recombinant expressing the gp120/gp41 envelope (Env) from a primary clade B HIV-1 isolate (BX08), or from a laboratory T cell line-adapted strain (LAI). In this system, gp120/gp41 of the "nonsyncytium-inducing," primary, macrophage-tropic HIV-1BX08 isolate, was at least as fusogenic as that of the "syncytium-inducing" HIV-1LAI strain. BX08 Env-mediated fusion was inhibited by the beta-chemokines RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) and macrophage inflammatory proteins 1beta (MIP-1beta) and by antibodies to CD4, whereas LAI Env-mediated fusion was insensitive to these beta-chemokines. In contrast soluble CD4 significantly reduced LAI, but not BX08 Env-mediated fusion, suggesting that the primary isolate Env glycoprotein has a reduced affinity for CD4. The domains in gp120/gp41 involved in the interaction with the CD4 and CCR-5 molecules were probed using monoclonal antibodies. For the antibodies tested here, the greatest inhibition of fusion was observed with those directed to conformation-dependent, rather than linear epitopes. Efficient inhibition of fusion was not restricted to epitopes in any one domain of gp120/gp41. The assay was sufficiently sensitive to distinguish between antibody- and beta-chemokine-mediated fusion inhibition using serum samples from patient BX08, suggesting that the system may be useful for screening human sera for the presence of biologically significant antibodies.

Abstract
Blood dendritic cells (DC) are susceptible to both macrophage (M) and T-cell line (T) tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1. The CC chemokines RANTES, macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), MIP-1β, eotaxin, and, to a lesser extent, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and MCP-4 blocked entry of M-tropic virus into blood DC. The CXC chemokine, SDF-1, a fusin (CXCR4 chemokine receptor) ligand, and an antifusin antibody inhibited DC entry by T-tropic virus. Purified blood DC contained CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, and CCR5 as well as the CXCR4 chemokine receptor RNA transcripts and high levels of fusin on the cell surface. The coexpression of multiple chemokine receptors offers a molecular mechanism to explain the permissiveness of DC for both M- and T-tropic viruses.

Abstract
Bicyclams are a novel class of antiviral compounds which are highly potent and selective inhibitors of the replication of HIV-1 and HIV-2. The prototype compound, AMD3100, has an IC50 of 1-10 ng/ml, which is a least 100,000 fold lower than the cytotoxic concentration. AMD3100 does not inhibit virus binding to the CD4 receptor and based on time-of-addition experiments, has been assumed to interact with the HIV fusion-uncoating process. Resistance of HIV-1 strains to AMD3100 is associated with the accumulation of several mutations in the viral envelope glycoprotein gp120. Here, we demonstrate that AMD3100 interacts with fusin (CXCR-4), the coreceptor used by T-tropic viruses to infect the target cells. The replication of NL4-3 wild type virus and NL4-3 dextran sulfate-resistant virus was inhibited by the CXC-chemokine, stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), the natural ligand for CXCR-4. In contrast, the replication of the HIV-1 NL4-3 AMD3100-resistant virus was no longer inhibited by SDF-1. The bicyclams are the first low-molecular-weight anti-HIV agents shown to interact with the coreceptor for T-tropic viruses.

Abstract
HIV-1 enters its target cells by fusion at the plasma membrane. The primary cellular receptor for HIV is CD4, but this molecule is insufficient to permit viral fusion. During 1996, the necessary entry co-factors (co-receptors or second receptors) were identified as being members of the seven-transmembrane-spanning receptor family fusin: CXCR4 for T-tropic strains and CCR5, principally, for M-tropic strains. The co-receptor functions of these proteins are inhibited by their natural alpha- and beta-chemokine ligands.

Abstract
Chemokine receptors serve as coreceptors for HIV entry into CD4+ cells. Their expression is thought to determine the tropism of viral strains for different cell types, and also to influence susceptibility to infection and rates of disease progression. Of the chemokine receptors, CCR5 is the most important for viral transmission, since CCR5 is the principal receptor for primary, macrophage-tropic viruses, and individuals homozygous for a defective CCR5 allele (delta32/delta32) are highly resistant to infection with HIV-1. In this study, CCR5-specific mAbs were generated using transfectants expressing high levels of CCR5. The specificity of these mAbs was confirmed using a broad panel of chemokine receptor transfectants, and by their non-reactivity with T cells from delta32/delta32 individuals. CCR5 showed a distinct pattern of expression, being abundant on long-term activated, IL-2-stimulated T cells, on a subset of effector/memory T cells in blood, and on tissue macrophages. A comparison of normal and CCR5 delta32 heterozygotes revealed markedly reduced expression of CCR5 on T cells from the heterozygotes. There was considerable individual to individual variability in the expression of CCR5 on blood T cells, that related to factors other than CCR5 genotype. Low expression of CCR5 correlated with the reduced infectability of T cells with macrophage-tropic HIV-1, in vitro. Anti-CCR5 mAbs inhibited the infection of PBMC by macrophage-tropic HIV-1 in vitro, but did not inhibit infection by T cell-tropic virus. Anti-CCR5 mAbs were poor inhibitors of chemokine binding, indicating that HIV-1 and ligands bind to separate, but overlapping regions of CCR5. These results illustrate many of the important biological features of CCR5, and demonstrate the feasibility of blocking macrophage-tropic HIV-1 entry into cells with an anti-CCR5 reagent.

Abstract
The chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 have recently been shown to act as coreceptors, in concert with CD4, for human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) infection. RANTES and other chemokines that interact with CCR5 and block infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures inhibit infection of primary macrophages inefficiently at best. If used to treat HIV-1-infected individuals, these chemokines could fail to influence HIV replication in nonlymphocyte compartments while promoting unwanted inflammatory side effects. A derivative of RANTES that was created by chemical modification of the amino terminus, aminooxypentane (AOP)-RANTES, did not induce chemotaxis and was a subnanomolar antagonist of CCR5 function in monocytes. It potently inhibited infection of diverse cell types (including macrophages and lymphocytes) by nonsyncytium-inducing, macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains. Thus, activation of cells by chemokines is not a prerequisite for the inhibition of viral uptake and replication. Chemokine receptor antagonists like AOP-RANTES that achieve full receptor occupancy at nanomolar concentrations are strong candidates for the therapy of HIV-1-infected individuals.

Abstract
Chemokines are chemotactic proteins which play a central role in immune and inflammatory responses. Chemokine receptors are members of the seven transmembrane G-protein coupled family and have recently been shown to be involved in the entry of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into target cells. To study chemokine endocytosis in detail we have used novel site-specific chemistry to make a fluorescently labeled CC-chemokine agonist (rhodamine-MIP-1alpha) and antagonist (NBD-RANTES). We have also generated a CHO cell line stably expressing a hemagglutinin-tagged version of the CC-chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1), and using these reagents we have examined the receptor-mediated endocytosis of CC-chemokines by confocal microscopy. Our studies reveal that the agonist was internalized and accumulated in transferrin receptor-positive endosomes whereas the antagonist failed to internalize. However, receptor-bound antagonist could be induced to internalize by co-administration of agonist. Analysis of receptor redistribution following chemokine addition confirmed that sequestration was induced by agonists but not by antagonists.

Abstract
The alpha-chemokine receptor fusin (CXCR-4) and beta-chemokine receptor CCR5 serve as entry cofactors for T-cell (T)-tropic and macrophage (M)-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains, respectively, when expressed with CD4 in otherwise nonpermissive cells. Some M-tropic and dual-tropic strains can also utilize other beta-chemokine receptors, such as CCR2b and CCR3. A mutation of CCR5 (delta ccr5) was recently found to be common in certain populations and appears to confer protection against HIV-1 in vivo. Here, we show that this mutation results in a protein that is expressed intracellularly but not on the cell surface. Primary CD4 T cells from delta ccr5 homozygous individuals were highly resistant to infection with prototype M-tropic HIV-1 strains, including an isolate (YU-2) that uses CCR5 and CCR3, but were permissive for both a T-tropic strain (3B) and a dual-tropic variant (89.6) that uses CXCR-4, CCR5, CCR3, or CCR2b. These cells were also resistant to M-tropic patient isolates but were readily infected by T-tropic patient isolates. Primary macrophages from delta ccr5 homozygous individuals were also resistant to infection with M-tropic strains, including YU-2, but the dual-tropic strain 89.6 was able to replicate in them even though macrophages are highly resistant to CXCR-4-dependent T-tropic isolates. These data show that CCR5 is the essential cofactor for infection of both primary macrophages and T lymphocytes by most M-tropic strains of HIV-1. They also suggest that CCR3 does not function for HIV-1 entry in primary lymphocytes or macrophages, but that a molecule(s) other than CCR5 can support entry into macrophages by certain virus isolates. These studies further define the cellular basis for the resistance to HIV-1 infection of individuals lacking functional CCR5.

Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on C-C chemokine receptors (CCR) expressed in human mononuclear phagocytes. LPS caused a rapid and drastic reduction of CCR2 mRNA levels, which binds MCP-1 and -3. CCR1 and CCR5 mRNAs were also reduced, though to a lesser extent, whereas CXCR2 was unaffected. The rate of nuclear transcription of CCR2 was not affected by LPS, whereas the mRNA half life was reduced from 1.5 h to 45 min. As expected, LPS-induced inhibition of CCR2 mRNA expression was associated with a reduction of both MCP-1 binding and chemotactic responsiveness. The capacity to inhibit CCR2 expression in monocytes was shared by other microbial agents and cytokines (inactivated Streptococci, Propionibacterium acnes, and to a lesser extent, IL-1 and TNF-alpha). In contrast, IL-2 augmented CCR2 expression and MCP-1 itself had no effect. These results suggest that, regulation of receptor expression in addition to agonist production is likely a crucial point in the regulation of the chemokine system.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) expression in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) infected in vitro is known to be inhibited by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, the mechanisms are incompletely understood. We show here that HIV-1 suppression is mediated by soluble factors released by MDM stimulated with physiologically significant concentrations of LPS. LPS-conditioned supernatants from MDM inhibited HIV-1 replication in both MDM and T cells. Depletion of C-C chemokines (RANTES, MIP-1 alpha, and MIP-1 beta) neutralized the ability of LPS-conditioned supernatants to inhibit HIV-1 replication in MDM. A combination of recombinant C-C chemokines blocked HIV-1 infection as effectively as LPS. Here, we report an inhibitory effect of C-C chemokines on HIV replication in primary macrophages. Our results raise the possibility that monocytes may play a dual role in HIV infection: while representing a reservoir for the virus, they may contribute to the containment of the infection by releasing factors that suppress HIV replication not only in monocytes but also in T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) has been detected in Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesions of all types (AIDS-related, classical and endemic), in body-cavity-based B-cell lymphomas (BCBLs) and in lesions of multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD). We have identified a major gamma-herpesvirus-divergent locus (DL-B) in HHV-8 DNA encoding several HHV-8 unique open reading frames (ORFs), including a homologue of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and two homologues of macrophage inflammatory protein MIP-1. We show that the HHV-8-encoded IL-6 homologue (vIL-6) shares functional properties with endogenous IL-6 proteins and that both vIL-6 and vMIP-1 transcripts are present at high levels following butyrate induction of an HHV-8' BCBL cell line. Low amounts of constitutive vIL-6, but not vMIP-1, mRNA were also detected. The presence of a functional IL-6 homologue encoded by HHV-8 may provide a mechanistic model for the hypothesized role of HHV-8 in KS, MCD and BCBL that involves the mitogenic effects of vIL-6 on surrounding cells. MIP-1 proteins may enhance these effects through the chemotactic recruitment of endogenous cytokine-producing cells into affected tissues and could potentially influence HIV disease progression in coinfected individuals through interactions with the HIV co-receptor CCR-5.

Abstract
We have used semiquantitative RT-PCR to monitor the expression of mRNA encoding chemoattractant factors IP-10, MIP-1alpha, and IL-16 in freshly isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), lymph node mononuclear cells (LNMCs), and mononuclear cells obtained after bronchoalveolar lavages (BALMCs) of two cynomolgus macaques inoculated intravenously with a pathogenic isolate of simian immunodeficiency virus, SIVmac251. Concomitant with the peak of systemic viral replication (two weeks after experimental inoculation) and proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 mRNA expression, high levels of MIP-1alpha and IP-10 mRNA were produced in LNMCs and BALMCs. In BALMCs, in which we have reported a marked progressive overexpression of IFN-gamma mRNA coinciding with an increase in the CD8+ lymphocyte percentages, we noticed a progressive overexpression of IL-16 mRNA. Our results suggest the role of chemokines IP-10, MIP-1alpha, and IL-16 in the development of inflammatory and immune responses during the early stages of lentiviral infection.

Abstract
The recent identification of the CC-CKR5 beta chemokine receptor as a major cofactor for entry of macrophage-tropic isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) raises the question of whether macrophage tropism is determined by utilization of this chemokine receptor. We observe that in addition to macrophage-tropic isolates of clades A, B, and E, macrophage-tropic isolates of clade F also utilize the CC-CKR5 molecule for entry. However, using single-round replication-competent reporter viruses carrying the envelope genes of T-cell line-tropic or macrophage-tropic phenotypic recombinant and mutant HIV-1 strains in infection of stable cell lines that coexpress the CD4 and chemokine receptors, we were unable to establish a strict correlation between macrophage tropism and utilization of the CC-CKR5 chemokine receptor. This latter finding suggests that a cofactor other than CC-CKR5 serves to determine entry into primary macrophages.

Abstract
CD4 is the primary cellular receptor for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), but is not sufficient for entry of HIV-1 into cells. After a decade-long search, the cellular coreceptors that HIV-1 requires in conjunction with CD4 have been identified as members of the chemokine receptor family of seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors. The discovery of distinct chemokine receptors that support entry of T-cell tropic (CXCR-4) and macrophage tropic HIV-1 strains (CCR-5) explains the differences in cell tropism between viral strains, the inability of HIV-1 to infect most nonprimate cells, and the resistance of a small percentage of the population to HIV-1 infection. Further understanding of the role of chemokine receptors in viral entry may also help explain the evolution of more pathogenic forms of the virus, viral transmission, and HIV-induced pathogenesis. These recent discoveries will aid the development of strategies for combating HIV-1 transmission and spread, the understanding of HIV-1 fusion mechanisms, and the possible development of small animal models for HIV-1 drug and vaccine testing.

Abstract
We have used a focal infectivity method to quantitatively analyze the CD4, CXCR-4, and CCR-5 dependencies for infections by diverse primary patient (PR) and laboratory-adapted (LA) isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Infectivities of T-cell-tropic viruses were analyzed in a panel of HeLa-CD4 cell clones that have distinct quantities of CD4 and in human astroglioma U87MG-CD4 cells that express a large quantity of CD4 and become highly susceptible to infection after transfection with a CXCR-4 expression vector. The latter analysis indicated that PR as well as LA T-cell-tropic viruses efficiently employ CXCR-4 as a coreceptor in an optimal human cell line that contains abundant CD4. Previous uncertainties regarding coreceptor usage by PR T-cell-tropic HIV-1 isolates may therefore have derived from the assay conditions. As reported previously, unrelated LA and PR T-cell-tropic HIV-1 isolates differ in infectivities for the HeLa-CD4 clonal panel, with LA viruses infecting all clones equally and PR viruses infecting the clones in proportion to cellular CD4 quantities (D. Kabat, S. L. Kozak, K. Wherly, and B. Chesebro, J. Virol. 68:2570-2577, 1994). To analyze the basis for this difference, we used the HeLa-CD4 panel to compare a molecularly cloned T-cell-tropic PR virus (ELI1) with six of its variants that grow to different extents in CD4-positive leukemic cell lines and that differ only at specific positions in their gp120 and gp41 envelope glycoproteins. All mutations in gp120 or gp41 that contributed to laboratory adaptation preferentially enhanced infectivity for cells that had little CD4 and thereby decreased the CD4 dependencies of the infections. There was a close correlation between abilities of T-cell-tropic ELI viruses to grow in an expanded repertoire of leukemic cell lines, the reduced CD4 dependencies of their infections of the HeLa-CD4 panel, and their sensitivities to inactivation by soluble CD4 (sCD4). Since all of the ELI viruses can efficiently use CXCR-4 as a coreceptor, we conclude that an increase in viral affinity for CD4 rather than a switch in coreceptor specificity is principally responsible for laboratory adaption of T-cell-tropic HIV-1. Syncytium-inducing activities of the ELI viruses, especially when analyzed on cells with low amounts of CD4, were also highly correlated with their laboratory-adapted properties. Results with macrophage-tropic HIV-1 were strikingly different in both coreceptor and CD4 dependencies. When assayed in HeLa-CD4 cells transfected with an expression vector for CCR-5, macrophage-tropic HIV-1 isolates that had been molecularly cloned shortly after removal from patients were equally infectious for cells that had low or high CD4 quantities. Moreover, despite their substantial infectivities for cells that had only a trace of CD4, macrophage-tropic isolates were relatively resistant to inactivation by sCD4. We conclude that T-cell-tropic PR viruses bind weakly to CD4 and preferentially infect cells that coexpress CXCR-4 and large amounts of CD4. Their laboratory adaptation involves corresponding increases in affinities for CD4 and in abilities to infect cells that have relatively little CD4. In contrast, macrophage-tropic HIV-1 appears to interact weakly with CD4 although it can infect cells that coexpress CCR-5 and small quantities of CD4. We propose that cooperative binding of macrophage-tropic HIV-1 onto CCR-5 and CD4 may enhance virus adsorption and infectivity for cells that have only a trace of CD4.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that CD8+ T cells produce a soluble factor(s) that suppresses human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) replication in CD4+ T cells. The role of soluble factors in the suppression of HIV replication in monocyte/macrophages (M/M) has not been fully delineated. To investigate whether a CD8+ T-cell-derived soluble factor(s) can also suppress HIV infection in the M/M system, primary macrophages were infected with the macrophage tropic HIV-1 strain Ba-L. CD8+ T-cell-depleted peripheral blood mononuclear cells were also infected with HIV-1 IIIB or Ba-L. HIV expression from the chronically infected macrophage cell line U1 was also determined in the presence of CD8+ T-cell supernatants or beta-chemokines. We demonstrate that: (i) CD8+ T-cell supernatants did, but beta-chemokines did not, suppress HIV replication in the M/M system; (ii) antibodies to regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and Secreted (RANTES), macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) and MIP-1 beta did not, whereas antibodies to interleukin 10, interleukin 13, interferon alpha, or interferon gamma modestly reduced anti-HIV activity of the CD8+ T-cell supernatants; and (iii) the CD8+ T-cell supernatants did, but beta-chemokines did not, suppress HIV-1 IIIB replication in peripheral blood mononuclear cells as well as HIV expression in U1 cells. These results suggest that HIV-suppressor activity of CD8+ T cells is a multifactorial phenomenon, and that RANTES, MIP-1 alpha, and MIP-1 beta do not account for the entire scope of CD8+ T-cell-derived HIV-suppressor factors.

Abstract
The level of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication in patients reflects a balance between stimulatory and inhibitory host factors (particularly endogenous cytokines). New information concerning the cellular co-receptors for HIV and the cellular tropism of different strains of virus will advance our understanding of HIV-induced pathogenesis and suggests new therapeutic and preventive strategies.
