Abstract

The effect of neurotropin on human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) production in a virus-producing MOLT-4 (MOLT-4/HTLV-III) cell line was studied. Culture of the cells for 4 days in the presence of 100 micrograms/ml of neurotropin resulted in a 72% decrease in the number of infectious virus particles released into the culture fluid. A pulse-labeling experiment to analyze the synthesis of HIV proteins suggested that neurotropin may affect the budding process of the virus.
