HIV and HTLV utilize multiple coreceptors; however, fusion is mediated through the receptors listed in the table.

ALV: Avian leukosis-sarcoma virus; FeLV: Feline leukemia virus; GALV: Gibbon–ape leukemia virus; HTLV: Human T-lymphotropic virus; MLV: Murine leukemia virus; PERV: Porcine endogenous retrovirus; SNV: Spleen necrosis virus.
