Extracellular Vesicles Carry HIV Env and Facilitate Hiv Infection of Human Lymphoid Tissue

Abstract Cells productively infected with HIV-1 release virions along with extracellular vesicles (EVs) whose biogenesis, size, and physical properties resemble those of retroviruses. Here, we found that a significant number of EVs (exosomes) released by HIV-1 infected cells carry gp120 (Env), a vir...
