We examined the susceptibility of HIV-1 group M and O isolates to the fusion inhibitors T-20 and T-1249. Unexpectedly, HIV-1 O isolates were as sensitive as group M viruses to inhibition by T-20 but were usually less susceptible to T-1249. Our data suggest that T-20 has broad antiretroviral activity and would be effective in individuals with HIV-1 O infection. However, polymorphisms in gp41 might affect the sensitivity of HIV-1 O to second-generation fusion inhibitors.

D000077560 Enfuvirtide A synthetic 36-amino acid peptide that corresponds to the heptad repeat sequence of HIV-1 gp41. It blocks HIV cell fusion and viral entry and is used with other anti-retrovirals for combination therapy of HIV INFECTIONS and AIDS.

D015700 HIV Envelope Protein gp41 Transmembrane envelope protein of the HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS which is encoded by the HIV env gene. It has a molecular weight of 41,000 and is glycosylated. The N-terminal part of gp41 is thought to be involved in CELL FUSION with the CD4 ANTIGENS of T4 LYMPHOCYTES, leading to syncytial formation. Gp41 is one of the most common HIV antigens detected by IMMUNOBLOTTING.
