Abstract

Fusion of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to the cell membrane occurs by the specific binding of an envelope protein of HIV-1 (gp120 and gp160) and a glycosphingolipid of the cell membrane. In this study, quantitative and array-based affinity evaluation of gp120 and gp160 was performed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and the SPR imaging technique using a substrate immobilized with glycolipid-like compounds (Gb3, GM3, and Lac). Quantitative affinity evaluation showed that gp160 specifically bound to Gb3 and Lac compared with GM3, whereas gp120 showed lower binding affinity and specificity. Array-based evaluation showed that gp160 binds to Gb3 more favorably than Lac and GM3.
