Reference Method Progenitor Growth HIV-1 Infection of Progenitors? HIV-1 Infection of Clonal Progeny? Comments
Folks et al173  HIV-1 challenge of CD34+ BM cells. Infectivity evaluated by RT assay and EM.  Not evaluated.  Evidence of HIV-1 infection at 1 mo pi (RT activity). Virus detected by EM at 40-60 d pi.  Not evaluated.  No convincing evidence of progenitor cell infection. HIV-1–infected CD34+ stromal cells or residual T cells/MΘ could infect differentiating BM cells.  
Molina et al27 (see Table 2) Unfractionated BM cells challenged by HIV-1 and seeded into colony assays.  Colony growth normal.  Not evaluated.  No HIV-1 DNA detected (gag PCR).  No evidence of progenitor cell infection.

Signal much weaker in NATD cells.  No HIV-1 DNA detected (gag PCR).  No convincing evidence of progenitor cell infection. Contaminating T cells/MΘ may yield PCR signal. Anti-gp 160 abrogates inhibition of colony growth.

Heat-inactivated HIV-1 inhibits colony growth. Inhibition partially blocked by anti-gp120 or anti-TNFα. 
Schwartz et al180  BM stroma challenged with HIV-1 strain ADA and overlaid with CD34+ cells.  ↓ CFU-GM ↓ BFU-E  Not evaluated.  Not evaluated.  Factors from HIV-1-infected stroma supress colony growth. Neutralization of IFNα or IL-4 restores growth. 
Marandin et al61  Challenge of LTBMC with monocyte-tropic HIV-1.  Colony growth normal.  Not evaluated. Not evaluated.  MΘ were only infected stromal cells detected. Cytokine profiles unaffected.  
Chelucci et al21  CD34+/Lin PB cells challenged with HIV-1 and seeded into colony assays.  Colony growth normal.  Not evaluated.  HIV-1 DNA (PCR), RNA (RT-PCR) or protein (p24 ELISA) detected.  CFU-GM and BFU-E from PB infected in vitro. CD34+/CD4+ cells (5-20% of total) were presumed targets.  
Zauli et al172  CD34+ BM cells challenged with HIV-1 or heat-inactivated HIV-1.  ↓ CFU-GM  No HIV-1 DNA detected (gag PCR).  Not evaluated.  No evidence of progenitor cell infection. gp120 induction of TGFb inhibits colony growth. 
Kaushal et al181  CD34+ BM cells (K6.1 MAB selected) challenged with HIV-1. After 24 h reselected for CD34 with ICH3 MAB.  Not evaluated.  No HIV-1 RNA detected (RT-PCR for unspliced and spliced tat-rev-nef transcripts).  Not evaluated. No evidence of progenitor cell infection. Two-step purification enhances purity of CD34 population.
