HIV Entry Revisited

Cell. 2009 May 1;137(3):402-4. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2009.04.033.

Abstract

HIV has long served as a model for viruses that enter cells by direct fusion at the plasma membrane. Miyauchi et al. (2009) now provide compelling evidence that HIV enters cells primarily by endocytosis.
