Expression of HIV-1 p24 protein in HD-HIV and ASC-HIV cells. p24 antigen level was monitored following post exposure to HIV-1 for 24 hr. HIV-1 was exposed to undifferentiated, 5-HD and 8-HD cells and p24 level was measured after 1, 3 and 5 days following removal of virus (A). Data represent the compilation of three separate experiments carried out in triplicates (P < 0.0001). (B) HIV-1 gag expression in HD-HIV and HUT78-HIV cells and compared to HIV-1 exposed ASCs (P < 0.05). (C) mRNA was extracted from ASC-HIV, HD-HIV, and HUT78-HIV cells and RT-PCR was performed for Tat expression.
