Materials and methodsTest drugs. Amphotericin B and candicidin were obtained from Xechem, Inc., Melrose Park, IL. They were dissolved in 0.01% dimethylformamide(DMF) to prepare solutions ranging in concentration from 0.1 to 100 pg/ml. The amphotericin B methyl ester (AME), as the ascorbic acid salt, was prepared as described by Mechlinksi and Schaffner [6]. AME salts are water-soluble. in contrast to amphotericin B, so that AME ascorbate was added to cultures of virus-infected H9 cells as an aqueous solution. HTLV-III virus. Stock virus was prepared from HTLVIII infected H9 cells in culture. Cells were harvested and the virus was isolated from the conditioned medium by twice banding on sucrose gradients. The virus band sedimenting at a density of 1.16 to 1.19 g/ml was collected, pelleted by centrifugation, and resuspended by TNE (1OmM Tris’ HCI, pH 7.5. 0.1 M NaCI, 0.001 M EDTA) at 2 X 10” virus particles/ml. H9 cells. This is a transformed human lymphocyte cell line that is permissive for HTLV-III [l]. It is maintained by serial passage in culture, using medium containing RPMI-1640 supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum, 2% glutamine and 1% gentamicin. For test purposes, cells were harvested in log phase, and 5 x lo5 cells were added per ml of test culture.
