We attempted to isolate acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) virus from a Japanese hemophiliac with AIDS-related complex (ARC). After cocultivation of leukocytes from his peripheral blood with those of a healthy adult, reverse transcriptase activity and AIDS viral antigens were detected by immunofluorescence and radio-immunoprecipitation methods, respectively. Moreover, an electron microscopic study revealed the presence of viral particles consistent with AIDS virus. These retroviruses were further propagated. We designated the first Japanese isolate of AIDS virus as YU-1.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
