Fragments of target cells are internalized into retroviral envelope protein-expressing cells during cell-cell fusion by endocytosis

Retroviruses enter into host cells by fusion between viral and host cell membranes. Retroviral envelope glycoprotein (Env) induces the membrane fusion, and also mediates cell-cell fusion. There are two types of cell-cell fusions induced by the Env protein. Fusion-from-within is induced by fusion bet...
