Green fluorescence protein (GFP) expression on GHOST cell lines exposed to different HIV isolates
| Viruses | GFP expression in GHOST cells* | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GHOST-CD4/CCR5 | GHOST-CD4/CXCR4 | GHOST-CD4/CCR8 | GHOST-CD4/Hi5 | GHOST-CD4/CX3CR1 | GHOST-CD4 | |

GHOST cells express either CD4 alone (GHOST-CD4) or CD4 together with different coreceptors.
*LTR-driven GFP expression was analized in GHOST cells by fluorescent microscopy at days 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days after infection; + presence of GFP-expressing cells; − absence of GFP-expressing cells.
