The hiv protein that is involved in attachment of the virus to cell surface proteins on the macrophage is Gp120.
The virus's capacity to cling to cell surface proteins on macrophages contributes to its ability to survive in the body. The CD4 component of the cell surface is particularly attractive to this HIV protein, gp120. It is difficult for immune system cells (macrophages) to eradicate or remove HIV infection when gp120 attaches to CD4 strongly enough.
