Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the phenotype of five human monocytoid cell lines (U-937, THP-1, RC.2A, Mono Mac 6, and DD) and their capacity to support replication of HIV-1 strains with known tropism for T lymphocytes and mononuclear phagocytes. HIV-1 Ba-L, a prototype monocytotropic HIV-1 strain, was unable to establish continuous replication in any of the cell lines used. In contrast, the lymphotropic strain IIIB could...
