Abstract The retroviral phenomenon of superinfection resistance SIR defines an interference mechanism that is established after primary infection preventing the infected cell from being superinfected by a similar type of virus. This review describes our present understanding of the underlying mechanisms of SIR established by three characteristic retroviruses Murine Leukaemia Virus MuLV Foamy Virus FV and Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV . In addition SIR is discussed with respect to HIV superinfection of humans. MuLV resistant mice exhibit two genetic resistance traits related to SIR. The cellular Fv4 gene expresses an Env related protein that establishes resistance against MuLV infection. Another mouse gene Fvl mediates MuLV resistance by expression of a sequence that is distantly related to Gag and that blocks the viral infection after the reverse transcription step. FVs induce two distinct mechanisms of superinfection resistance. First expression of the Env protein results in SIR probably by occupancy of the cellular receptors for FV entry. .
