title: Susceptibility of human lymphoblastoid B-cell line CE to HIV1 infection.
abstract: In this preliminary report, we provide evidence that the human B-lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) CE, bone-marrow-derived, previously reported to be permissive to hepatitis C virus, is also permissive to HIV1 infection. HIV1 genomes were detectable in cell supernatants, virus RNA transcripts and proviral DNAs in cell extracts at different times post-infection. Therefore, we propose this LCL cell line as a tool for exploring the mutual interactions of the two viruses in double-infected cells.
