Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus from macaques (SIVmac) are the etiological agents of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and simian AIDS, respectively (Barré-Sinoussi et al., 1983; Gallo et al, 1984; Levy et al, 1984; Clavel et al., 1986; Letvin et al., 1985; De Vita et al., 1988). The genetic sequence of SIVmacis closely related to that of HIV-2 (Chakrabarti et al, 1987) and HIV-1 (Chakrabarti et al., 1987; Desrosiers, 1988), and infection of macaques by SIVmacrepresents the best animal model for human AIDS. The molecular and cellular mechanisms of entry of these viruses into their host cells are not well understood. The involvement of an endocytosis step before the fusion of the HIV-1 envelope with cellular membranes, and the requirement for acidic pH for fusion are topics of controversy (Maddon et al., 1986, 1988; Stein et al., 1987; Pauza and Price, 1988; McClure et al., 1988).
