Abstract

CCR5 and CXCR4 are the major HIV-1 coreceptors for R5 and X4 HIV-1 strains, respectively, and a threshold number of CD4 and chemokine receptor molecules is required to support virus infection. Therefore, we used a quantitative fluorescence-activated cell sorting assay to determine the number of CD4, CCR5, and CXCR4 antibody-binding sites (ABS) on various T cell lines, T cell subsets, peripheral blood dendritic cells (PBDC), and monocyte-derived macrophages by using four-color fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis on fresh whole blood. Receptor levels varied dramatically among the various subsets examined and typically varied from 2- to 5-fold between individuals. CCR5 was expressed at much higher levels in CD4+/CD45RO+/CD62L-true memory cells compared with CD4+/CD45RO+/CD62L+ cells. Fresh PBDC had the highest number of CCR5 ABS among the leukocyte subsets examined but had few CXCR4 ABS, affording a strategy for sort-purifying PBDC. In vitro maturation of PBDC resulted in median 3- and 41-fold increases in CCR5 and CXCR4 ABS, respectively. We found that macrophage colony-stimulating factor caused the greatest up-regulation of both CCR5 and CXCR4 on macrophage maturation (from ≈5,000 to ≈50,000 ABS) whereas granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor caused a marked decrease of CXCR4 (from ≈5,000 ABS to <500) while up-regulating CCR5 expression (from ≈5,000 to ≈20,000 ABS). Absolute ABS for CD4 and the major HIV-1 coreceptors serve as a more quantitative measure of cell surface expression, and we propose that this be used for future studies looking at the modulation of CD4 or chemokine receptor expression by cytokines, HIV-1 infection, or receptor polymorphisms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
