Abstract:[Objective]In order to compare the infection of HIV-1 pseudovirus to suspended and adherent cells,Tzmbl cells containing β-gal ( β-galactosidase ) reporter gene were used here to do the analysis. [Methods] HIV-1 pseudoviruses were generated by co-transfection of 293T cells with the plasmid pNL43R-E- and HIV envelope expressing plasmid. Supernatant of co-transfected 293T cells was collected and used to infect Tzmbl cells with or without trypsin treatment. Forty-eight hours after infection,β-gal positive Tzmbl cells and virus infection were determined using X-gal staining and β-glo (β-galactosidase) assay. [Results]The efficiency of HIV pseudoviruses infection of suspended Tzmbl cell was higher than that of adherent cells and the increase of infection correlated with the pseudoviral subtype.[Conclusion]This study may provide a useful method for HIV biological study and neutralization assays using a singleround replicative pseudovirus in the future.
