We have established a novel human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) tandem-reporter assay using HIV receptor-transduced NP-2 cells with long terminal repeat-controlled β-galactosidase, inserted internal ribosome entry site, and secretary alkaline phosphatase genes. This assay allows users to detect replication of clinical isolates, indicating its useful application as an HIV phenotypic assay.
