Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic drug susceptibility assays of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates generally use time-consuming, expensive assays with peripheral blood mononuclear cells. A new HIV-1 indicator cell line, MAGI-CCR5, has been developed and applied for this purpose. This cell line expresses human CD4, the two major HIV-1 coreceptors, CCR5 and CXCR4, the reporter gene beta-galactosidase driven by the HIV-1...
