 TI    Lymphocytotropic strains of HIV type 1 when complexed with enhancing
       antibodies can infect macrophages via Fc gamma RIII, independently of
       CD4.

 AB    Antipeptide sera raised against the gp120/gp41 sequences of human
       immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were used to determine their
       capacity to enhance infection. Antisera to the five variable regions (V1
       to V5) of gp120 and conserved parts of gp120 and gp41 facilitated
       infection of primary human macrophages with the homologous virus HIV-1
       SF2mc. In contrast, heterologous virus infection with HTLV-IIIB was
       mediated only by antisera to the conserved regions, predominantly C4 and
       C5. Heterologous virus infection occurred more rapidly and was
       consistent between different cell donors. The neutralizing monoclonal
       antibody (MAb) SC258 (murine IgG2a) but not MAb 684-238 (mIgG1) against
       conformational epitopes of the V2 region also induced antibody-dependent
       infection enhancement (ADE). Therefore, preincubation with certain
       antibodies can cause altered tropism of the lymphocytotropic viruses
       mentioned above. Viral infection was completely abolished by
       preincubation with the F(ab)2 fragment of MAb 3G8 against the Fc gamma
       receptor III (CD16). A MAb (7.3F11) against the gp120-binding site of
       CD4 had no effect on viral infectivity. Possible mechanisms and their
       implications for disease progression are discussed.
