However, unexpectedly, we observed that if MLV-B cores are pseudotyped with either the MCN or MCR HIV-2 Envs they both result in a restricted phenotype in HeLa/CD4 cells, but not in the NP2/CD4/CXCR4 (a permissive glioma cell line stably transduced with the HIV receptors [25]) cells (Figure 1a). Here, CXCR4 is linked to glioma.
