 AB    Starting from our previous observations that the HIV-1-mediated
       engagement of CD4 induced apoptotic death of TF-1 hematopoietic
       progenitor cells, in this study we evaluated PKC activity and
       intracellular Ca2+ levels in TF-1 cells treated with viable and
       heat-inactivated HIV-1 (strain IIIB) or anti-CD4 Leu3a monoclonal
       antibody (mAb). Both viable and heat-inactivated HIV-1 or anti-CD4 mAb,
       but not anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) 66kD protein or anti-CD8 mAb
       induced a rapid (5-10 min) increase in PKC activity under both
       serum-containing and serum-free conditions. The same treatment also
       induced both a transient and a long-lasting (48 hours) decrease (p <
       0.05) in intracellular Ca2+ levels in serum-containing cultures. We
       propose that the observed changes in PKC activity and intracellular Ca2+
       levels might be involved in the HIV-1 mediated apoptosis of
       hematopoietic progenitor cells.
