[Technical note on the isolation of HIV from peripheral lymphomonocytes: use of PHA].

As a part of ongoing study about the role that different technical factors may play in influencing the sensibility of HIV isolation procedures, the authors have evaluated the effects of PHA stimulation of infected cells on HIV replication in cell cultures. Data presented demonstrate that the use of PHA in cell cultures for HIV isolation causes a slower viral replication and, in some cases, inhibits HIV growth.

[The discordance between the presence of identifiable p24 antigen in the blood and the isolation of HIV from the blood is not influenced by methodological factors].

To clarify the biological, clinical and prognostic relevance of HIV isolation from plasma and explain the relation to p24 antigenemia, we studied these two markers in 67 anti-HIV positive subjects in different stages of the disease. The results suggest that discordances between these two parameters are not dependent on methodological problems and may be attributed to yet unexplained biological phenomena. Some hypotheses to explain the observed discrepancies are suggested.
