SK-specific and Der p 1–specific short-term T cell lines were generated from PBMC of 8 Der p 1–sensitive atopic donors, as described in Materials and Methods. On day 15, T cell lines were infected with the HIV-1IIIB or HIV-1BaL strains, and on day 6 after infection, they were assessed for p24 Ag production, as previously described.
