Biological effects of HIV-1 Vpr on CD4(+) cells were studied by an infection system. High-titered HIV-1 stocks pseudotyped with vesicular stomatitis virus G protein were prepared and used to inoculate into CD4(+ )T cells at high multiplicity of infection. Both cell- and virion-associated Vpr were demonstrated to arrest the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, and to induce cell apoptosis. Of note, morphologically apoptotic cells were shown to be arrested at the G2/M stage. No appreciable effect of Vpr on the anti-Fas antibody-mediated apoptosis was observed in this system.

D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D014721 Vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus The type species of VESICULOVIRUS causing a disease symptomatically similar to FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE in cattle, horses, and pigs. It may be transmitted to other species including humans, where it causes influenza-like symptoms. Vesicular stomatitis-Indiana virus

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.
