Abstract excerpt
3'azido-3'deoxythymidine (AZT) inhibits the ability of uninfected CD4 expressing cells to participate in syncytium formation, when cocultured with cells chronically infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV 1). The inhibition of giant cells formation is similar, irrespective of the AZT-sensitive or resistant phenotype of the HIV1 strains. The effect on syncytium formation occurs when the uninfected...
