Abstract excerpt
We investigated the effect of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) recombinant gp120 (rec.gp120) on phenotype and function of cultured monocytes. Rec.gp120 significantly reduced the accessory function of monocytes to stimulate autologous lymphocytes with anti-CD3, the Fc receptor-mediated chemiluminescence of monocytes, and the expression of CD4 and Fc receptor I/II, while the expression of the monocyte...
