Characterization of Restrictions to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection of Monocytes
28 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Tissue macrophages are an important cellular reservoir for replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus. In vitro, the ability of macrophages to support viral replication is differentiation dependent in that precursor monocytes are refractory to infection.
