Abstract Background Cholesterol-rich microdomains like lipid rafts were recently identified as regions within the plasma membrane which play an important role in the assembly and budding of different viruses e.g. measles virus and human immunodeficiency virus. For these viruses association of newly synthesized viral proteins with lipid rafts has been shown. Results Here we provide evidence for the association of the envelope protein Env of the 4070A isolate of amphotropic murine leukaemia virus A-MLV with lipid rafts. Using density gradient centrifugation and immunocytochemical analyses we show that Env co-localizes with cholesterol ganglioside GM1 and caveolin-1 in these specific regions of the plasma membrane. Conclusions These results show that a large amount of A-MLV Env is associated with lipid rafts and suggest that cholesterol-rich microdomains are used as portals for the exit of A-MLV.
