Case Study: The Genetics of Resistance to HIV Infection
Graph: HIV-1 Isolate Strains


Hypothesis 4:
T-tropic HIV-1 isolates can infect and replicate in EU cells, but M-tropic cannot.

Selected Answer: False

Incorrect.

Actually, although the T-tropic viral strains can infect the EU cells, the M-tropic isolates JR-CSF and GT do not infect the EU cells. Click NEXT to see how T-tropic and M-tropic viruses are different, and what this tells us about HIV resistance.
