title: Production and use of HIV-1 luciferase reporter viruses.
abstract: This unit describes the production and use of HIV-1 luciferase reporter viruses. These viruses are used to rapidly and accurately quantify HIV-1 in cell culture. Protocols are also presented for screening and characterization of small molecule inhibitors of HIV-1 entry into cells.
