title: Cyclophilin a plays distinct roles in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 entry and postentry events, as revealed by spinoculation.
abstract: Cyclophilin A (CypA) is necessary for effective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication. However, the functions of CypA and the precise steps at which CypA acts in the HIV-1 life cycle remain to be determined. By using a methodology that bypasses the need for attachment factors-spinoculation-we present evidence that CypA participates in both entry and postentry events.
