CXCR4 is one of two physiologically relevant human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV-1) entry coreceptors. Studies of CXCR4 mutants have not clearly identified the determinants of coreceptor function and specificity. We therefore used a panel of monoclonal antibodies to further elucidate CXCR4 expression, structure, and function. Our findings show the existence of conformational subpopulations of CXCR4 that are in equilibrium on the cell surface but are not cell type specific as previously reported. HIV-1 X4 isolates can interact with multiple CXCR4 conformations in order to gain entry into target cells.
