title: Human immunodeficiency virus infection in central nervous system and myeloid-monocytic lineage.
abstract: We established persistent infection with a strain of human immunodeficiency type 1, HTLV-IIIB, in a ++promyelo-monocytic cell line, ML-1 (CD4 antigen nearly negative and CD4 mRNA negative), and a promonocytic cell line, THP-1 (CD4 antigen positive). Different reactions of giant cell formation were found after cocultivation of infected and uninfected cells of ML-1, HL-60, THP-1 and U-937 cell lines with uninfected and infected MOLT4 (a T-lymphoma cell line). Factors affecting the cellular tropism of human immunodeficiency virus were discussed.
