J Virol. 2014;88(4):1858–69. This paper shows a direct correlation between the enhanced ability of macrophage-tropic viruses to use low levels of CD4, which is restrictive for T cell-tropic viruses, and the lower levels of CD4 expressed on MDM compared to memory T cells. This highlights receptor usage and not coreceptor use as the main determinant of macrophage tropism.
