 AB    Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) can be abortively
       infected with HIV-1, but virus production is rescued by the addition of
       T cells. Monoclonal antibody (Mab) to ICAM-1, but not its Fab' fragment
       or MAbs to LFA-1 and PECAM-1, increases HIV-1 infection of HUVEC by
       enhancing HIV-1 absorption. Enhancement by anti ICAM-1 is probably due
       to a bridging effect different from the ADE mediated by anti-gp120 that
       involves FcR or CR-mediated capture of the virus-antibody complex. Since
       antibodies to cell membrane molecules are present in HIV-1 infected
       patients, the ADE mediated by such a mechanism can be important in AIDS
       pathogenesis.
