title: Establishment and characterization of a human CD4 positive cell bank for HIV related studies.
abstract: The human CD4 positive cell lines JM, CCRF, CEM, U937, HL60 and THP-1 have been cleared of mycoplasma contamination and defined by DNA fingerprinting and cell surface phenotype marker analysis. These cells have been banked and are now available as a source of standardized cell lines for HIV related research.
