Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that in vitro biological properties of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates from patients are correlated with the prognosis of HIV-1 infection. A rapid assay was developed to study the phenotype of HIV-1 isolates. The P4 cell line is a HIV-1 infectible Hela CD4 cell carrying the bacterial LacZ gene under the control of the HIV-1 LTR (long terminal repeat). Conventional...
