looking for cell line: CEMX174(T1) - (Feb/14/2005 )

hi there
i'm looking for a lymphocytes cell line that express CD4+ and CCR5 and can be infected by HIV.
for now i have a cell line called: CEMX174(T1), and i'm having problems growing it, i tried everything already. i might got this cell line in a bad condition (i got it after 2 days in a 50ml falcon). if there is anyone who grew this cell line please contact me, so i can use some ideas.

Hi

NIH AIDS Reagent Program has numerous cell lines that express CD4 and CCR5 and can be infected with HIV. Reagents are free but your PI has to become a member in order to get them. And you have to acknowdlege the program and the donor in any publication resulting from the use of their cell line or reagent.

I hope this does not come too late...
