RESUMO
The cells of most Old World monkey species exhibit early, postentry restrictions on infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) but not by simian immunodeficiency virus of macaques (SIVmac). Conversely, SIVmac, but not HIV-1, infection is blocked in most New World monkey cells. By using chimeric HIV-1/SIVmac viruses capable of a single round of infection, we demonstrated that a major viral determinant of this restriction is the capsid (CA) protein. The efficiency of early events following HIV-1 and SIVmac entry is apparently determined by the interaction of the incoming viral CA and species-specific host factors.
