We co-cultured Jurkat cells infected with R5- or X4-tropic HIV with human monocyte-derived macrophages (M0/M1/M2) and quantified infection (p24/GFP), inflammasome activation and death (IL-1β, AnnexinV/7-AAD, z-YVAD), adhesion molecules/tetraspanins (ICAM-1, LFA-1, CD9/CD63/CD81), mROS (MitoSOX, NAC), polarization markers/cytokines, and osteoclastogenesis (TRAP, actin ring, CD51/61, adhesion, bone resorption). Here, CD81 is linked to infection.
