 AB    To understand how different cell types might influence the generation of
       viral variants, we have examined the differences in the viral life cycle
       of the HIV-1 isolate, NL4-3, in the human promyelocytic cell line,
       HL-60, and the human T cell line, H9. NL4-3 harvested from H9 cells
       productively infected and was cytopathic to H9 and HL-60 cells. However,
       the cytopathic effect was delayed in HL-60 cells compared to that seen
       in H9 cells, suggesting that NL4-3 replication was restricted in myeloid
       cells. This restriction was overcome by production of a variant virus,
       NL4-3 (M), which replicated efficiently in HL-60 cells. Measurements of
       the kinetics of entry of NL4-3 in H9 and HL-60 cells and NL4-3 (M) in
       HL-60 cells demonstrated that the timing of viral entry into each cell
       line was similar. However, quantitation of the amount of newly
       reverse-transcribed NL4-3 DNA in H9 and HL-60 cells revealed that
       NL4-3-infected H9 cells and NL4-3 (M)-infected HL-60 cells contained
       consistently more newly reverse-transcribed DNA than NL4-3-infected
       HL-60 cells. This difference was further amplified by inefficient spread
       of the virus throughout the HL-60 culture. Together these results
       suggest that the efficiency of NL4-3 infection of HL-60 cells is
       restricted at early steps in the viral life cycle and may be restricted
       at late steps as well.
