G. Piedimonte et al., PHAGOCYTOSIS REDUCES HIV-1 PRODUCTION IN HUMAN MONOCYTES MACROPHAGES INFECTED IN-VITRO, Archives of virology, 130(3-4), 1993, pp. 463-469
The addition of ingestible particles (opsonized erythrocytes or latex
beads) or a phorbol ester activates monocytes - derived human macropha
ges (MDHM) cultured in vitro, and markedly reduces virion release from
HIV-infected MDHM as well as their ability to transmit the infection
to cocultured lymphoid CD4-positive CEM cells.
