Abstract Background Retrovirus infection depends on binding of the retroviral envelope Env protein to specific cell-surface protein receptors. Interference or superinfection resistance is a frequent consequence of retroviral infection and occurs when newly-synthesized Env binds to receptor proteins resulting in a block to entry by retroviruses that use the same receptors. Three groups of viruses demonstrate a non-reciprocal pattern of interference NRI which requires the existence of both a common receptor utilized by all viruses within the group and a specific receptor that is used by a subset of viruses. In the case of amphotropic and 10A1 murine leukemia viruses MLV the common and specific receptors are the products of two related genes. In the case of avian sarcoma and leukosis virus types B D and E the two
