ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for AIDS diagnosis and monitoring of anti-AIDS drug therapy, and more particularly to a method of assaying for human immunodeficiency virus. The present invention uses a focal immunoassay (FIA) which utilizes HIV-specific antibodies and indirect immunoassay techniques to detect local areas of HIV infection in susceptible target cells growing in monolayers on plastic dishes. The present invention further relates to specific cell lines used as the susceptible target cells in the disclosed methods.
