Previous experiments indicate that the V3 hypervariable region of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope protein influences cell tropism of infection; however, so far no consistent V3 sequence can account for macrophage or T-cell tropism. In these experiments, we studied infectious recombinant HIV clones constructed by using V3 region sequences of HIV isolates from 16 patients to search for sequences associated with cell tropism. Remarkable homology was seen among V3 sequences from macrophage-tropic clones from different patients, and a consensus V3 region sequence for patient-derived macrophage-tropic viruses was identified. In contrast, V3 sequences of T-cell-tropic clones from different patients were highly heterogeneous, and the results suggested that sequence diversity leading to T-cell tropism might be generated independently in each patient. Site-specific mutations identified amino acids at several positions on each side of the GPGR motif at the tip of the V3 loop as important determinants of tropism for T cells and macrophages. However, a wide variety of mutant V3 sequences induced macrophage tropism, as detected in vitro. Therefore, the homogeneity of macrophage-tropic patient isolates appeared to be the result of selection based on a biological advantage in vivo.
