[Possibility of selective binding of HIV-1 infected cells by immunosorbents]

A study was made of a possibility of specific sorption of HIV-1 infected cells with gamma-fraction of AIDS patients' serum containing high titer-specific antibodies, immobilized on the silica matrix (C-3). The laboratory tests were made with the use of the monocyte culture [symbol: see text] chronically infected with HIV-1. In addition to a decrease of the cell count after sorption, there was a decline of the activity of antigen material in the samples (to 43% of the initial). The selectivity rates were 0.92 for immunosorbents and 0.29 for sorbents of the control group, that confirms and increase of the delay of the cells expressing HIV-1 proteins on a column with the immobilized gamma-fraction of AIDS patients' serum. The use of the synthesized immunosorbents in vivo may appear debatable. However, this method can be employed for preparative purposes.
