Using the MT-4 plaque assay, differences in the plaque-forming ability among various isolates of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were observed. Kinetic studies showed that these differences reflected the enhanced ability of individual HIV to replicate rapidly in T cells and cause cytopathic changes. The plaque-forming HIV all came from patients with disease; no healthy seropositive individuals had these types of isolates. Plaque formation may be a useful assay for identifying pathogenic strains of HIV.
