In addition to gp41 and gp120, an array of cell adhesion molecules is
present on the envelope of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). To
examine the role of the host cell in the acquisition of these molecules by
virions, both laboratory-adapted and primary isolates were sequentially
passaged into different host cells. Viruses obtained from the various host
cells were examined for the presence of 10 different cell-derived molecules
by a virus binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Virus progeny raised
in peripheral blood mononuclear cells expressed most of the adhesion
molecules tested, with the level of LFA- 1 being the highest. When viruses
were passaged into CEM-SS or SupT1 cells, the expression of most of the
adhesion molecules on the virus envelope was lost. In contrast, when
viruses were passaged into MT2 cells, the virus progeny bore high levels of
LFA-3, ICAM-1, and major histocompatibility complex classes I and II. These
studies demonstrate for the first time the host cell dependence of the
adhesion molecule profile present on the envelope of primary isolates of
HIV-1. The presence of several adhesion molecules that have not previously
been identified as components of the envelope of either laboratory or
primary isolates is also described. In addition, we show that the adhesion
molecule profile of the virions is acquired, or lost, within one passage
and is maintained with subsequent passages in the same cell type.
