Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) membrane has been reconstituted from the recombinant envelope glycoprotein precursor (gp160) by a detergent dialysis technique. Electron microscopy shows that gp160-virosomes are spherical vesicles with a mean diameter identical to that of viral particles. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunogold labeling demonstrate efficient association of gp160 with lipid vesicles and proteolysis treatment reveals an asymmetric insertion with about 90% of glycoproteins having their gp120-moiety pointing outside. Glycoproteins are organized as dimers and tetramers and gp160 retains its ability to specifically bind CD4 receptor after reconstitution into virosome.
