Summary Transient expression of HIV-1 p24 antigen was observed in eosinophils acutely infected with the HTLV-IIIB strain of HIV-1. PCR analysis of eosinophils isolated from 18 seropositive individuals showed HIV-1 sequences to be present in 2 subjects. These data suggest that eosinophils may act as host cells for HIV-1.
