monocytotropic/monocytropic strains
Aug 30, 2009

Dear Mark, I'm a student of Bilingual Translation at the University of Westminster in London and for my MA project I decided to translate a text about HIV. I encountered two terms that I'm not sure of. Are these two terms the same?: -monocytotropic strain (this term was in a table) -monocytropic strain (this term was in a sentence: HIV may preferentially replicate in monocytes (monocytropic strains) or CD4 lymphocytes (lymphocytotropic strains)[...] Is there any difference between them? Thank you so much for your help.

Response from Dr. Holodniy

In my opinion they are the same term, and the second is a typo.
