The envelope is of cardinal importance for the entry of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) into its host cells, which consist of cells of the immune system including macrophages. To characterize the envelope glycoprotein determinants involved in macrophage tropism, chimeric infectious molecular clones were constructed containing envelope gene sequences from isolates that had been propagated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The progeny virus was examined for growth in PBMC and bone marrow-derived macrophages and viruses with different replication kinetics in macrophages were selected. Envelope-chimeric viruses revealed that nucleotide sequences encoding variable regions 3 and 4 of the surface glycoprotein, SU, are involved in macrophage tropism of FIV. To assess the biological importance of this finding, the phenotypes of envelope proteins of viruses derived from bone marrow, brain, lymph node and PBMC of an experimentally FIV-infected, healthy cat were examined. Since selection during propagation had to be avoided, provirus envelope gene sequences were amplified directly and cloned into an infectious molecular clone of FIV strain Petaluma. The viruses obtained were examined for their replication properties. Of 15 clones tested, 13 clones replicated both in PBMC and macrophages, two (brain-derived clones) replicated in PBMC only and none replicated in Crandell feline kidney cells or astrocytes. These results indicate that dual tropism for PBMC and macrophages is a common feature of FIV variants present in vivo.
