Evidence

Of note, 18A inhibited infection of Cf2Th-CD4/CXCR4 cells by the chimeric YU2(HXV3+R440E) virus with an IC50 similar to that of the parental R5 YU2 virus infecting Cf2Th-CD4/CCR5 cells;therefore, infection of CXCR4-expressing cells by X4 viruses is not necessarily less sensitive to 18A inhibition than infection of CCR5-expressing cells by R5 viruses.
