Abstract Background Most retroviruses enter their host cells by fusing the viral envelope with the plasma membrane. Although the protein machinery promoting fusion has been characterized extensively the dynamics of the process are largely unknown. Results We generated human immunodeficiency virus-1 HIV-1 particles pseudotyped with the envelope Env protein of ecotropic murine leukemia virus eMLV to study retrovirus entry at the plasma membrane using live-cell microscopy. This Env protein mediates highly .
