Cyclophilin binding to the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Gag polyprotein is mimicked by an anti-cyclosporine antibody

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 is unique among retroviruses in that infectivity requires specific incorporation into virions of the cellular protein cyclophilin A through interactions with the Gag polyprotein. Here we show that monoclonal antibody B11 1.4, which recognizes a cyclophilin-binding epitope on cyclosporine, detects denatured or native human immunodeficiency virus type 1 capsid. B11 1.4 does not recognize the capsids of other retroviruses, and binding is inhibited by cyclosporine or by cyclophilin A.
