As full length Bk132 Env would not pseudotype on an NL43 HIV core we truncated the cytoplasmic tail of the Envs [49], [50], and conducted tropism testing on NP2 cell lines expressing CD4 with either CCR5 or CXCR4.
In addition to the viral vector itself, each virus particle comprises a viral envelope that fuses with the target cell's membrane and determines target cell specificity or tropism (see Viruses of a Feather Infect Together, below), and a protein capsid that encloses the genetic material.
Pseudotyping is the process of producing viruses with foreign envelope proteins and is frequently used to generate viruses with altered cell tropism [Cronin et al., 2006].
