The addition of ingestable particles (opsonized erythrocytes or latex beads) or a phorbol ester activates monocytes--derived human macrophages (MDHM) cultured in vitro, and markedly reduces virion release from HIV-infected MDHM as well as their ability to transmit the infection to cocultured lymphoid CD4-positive CEM cells.
