Efficiency of HIV-1 R5 reverse transcription and integration in HOSlow and HOShigh cells

Cells Late transcripts day 2, copies/106 cells Integration day 15, copies/106 cells Virus production day 15, arbitrary units of luciferase activity
HOSlow 238  ± 65 189  ± 133 3,154  ± 1,276
HOShigh 6,292  ± 1,879 4,464  ± 997 103,220  ± 24,043
HOShigh/HOSlow 26  ± 7 24  ± 5 33  ± 7

HOSlow and HOShigh cells were exposed to 500 ng of p24 of env-defective HIV-1 R5 virus harboring the luciferase marker gene and analyzed at different times. The number of late transcripts was determined by LTR-gag quantitative PCR at day 2. The number of integrated proviral DNA copies was determined by LTR-LTR quantitative PCR at day 15. Virus production was also quantitated at day 15 by measuring luciferase activity.
