The HA fragment was amplified by RT2PCR and cloned into a pcdna311 ( + ) vector, then cotransfected with retroviral producing vectors pcmv 812 and phr 2CMVLacZ into 293T cells for viral packaging. The HIVΠH52HA transduction was analysis by X2Gal Staining after infections to 293T, BHK, Vero, PK215, IBRS22 and MDCK cells. The results demonstrated that the pseudotyped viral particles possessed a wide cell tropism. The HA glycoproteins were properly decorated on the virions as determined by Western blot, FACS and EM, and were able to agglutinate chicken erythrocytes. We also found that HIVΠH52 HA entry into the infected cells required a low ph for membrane fusions. Our results showed that the HA2 presenting HIV pseudotyping system was capable to produce functional virions, and might be a useful for the study of the host immunologic response of AIV.
