title: [The study on the effect of prostaglandins A1 on the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in vitro].
abstract: We observed the effect of prostaglandins A1 (PGA1) on the replication of HIV-1 by Northern-blot method in the CEM-ss cells which had been infected with HIV-1. The results showed that the RNA levels of HIV-1 in infected cells treated with PGA1 was lower than that of controls in low MOI 72-96 hours postinfection. The RNA of HIV-1 was dramatically reduced in infected CEM-ss cells when PGA1 was given 24 hours postinfection. The inhibition effect of PGA1 lasted for 9 days when PGA1 was given constantly.
