The second extracellular loop (ECL2) domain of CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) has been proposed as a specific target site for therapeutic agents aimed at blocking CCR5-dependent entry by human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1). We have adapted two CCR5-using HIV-1 isolates, prototypic JR-CSF, and a primary isolate, 11-121, to replicate in vitro in the presence of high concentrations of a monoclonal antibody (MAb 2D7) specific for the CCR5 ECL2 domain. The 75% inhibitory concentrations (IC(75)) for the two 2D7-adapted isolates were approximately 100-fold higher than those for corresponding control isolates passaged without the MAb. Adapted isolates did not acquire the ability to use CXCR4, CCR3, or CCR1. Env clones derived from MAb 2D7-adapted JR-CSF showed several gp120 mutations that were not found in any of the control JR-CSF clones. The in vitro observations suggest that CCR5-using HIV-1 strains might also be able to adapt in vivo to evade an ECL2-blocking therapeutic agent.

D015699 HIV Envelope Protein gp120 External envelope protein of the human immunodeficiency virus which is encoded by the HIV env gene. It has a molecular weight of 120 kDa and contains numerous glycosylation sites. Gp120 binds to cells expressing CD4 cell-surface antigens, most notably T4-lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages. Gp120 has been shown to interfere with the normal function of CD4 and is at least partly responsible for the cytopathic effect of HIV.
