title: Multiparametric assay to screen and dissect the mode of action of anti-human immunodeficiency virus envelope drugs.
abstract: A flow cytometry-based assay was used to simultaneously quantify X4 and R5 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope-mediated cell-to-cell viral transfer, cell death, and cell-to-cell fusion. In this assay, different anti-HIV envelope drugs showed characteristic inhibitory profiles for each measured parameter, allowing for the rapid identification of the mode of action of active compounds.
