Abstract
This invention is an immortalized T-cell clone, designated ATH8, which is highly sensitive to the cytopathic effect of HTLV-III. The ATH8 T-cell clone is used in mass screening systems to rapidly and easily determine the in vitro capacity of new drugs or other agents to inactivate or inhibit HTLV-III or related cytopathic retroviruses.
