- Description
- In 1983–84, both Dr. Luc Montagnier, Pasteur Institute, Paris, and Dr. Robert Gallo, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, discovered HIV. They resolved the dispute over priority by sharing recognition as co-discoverers and co-patentees of the test kit, and by the equal sharing of all royalties. In 1983 Dr. Jay Levy and his colleagues at the University of Califonia at San Francisco also isolated the virus. Levy used this equipment to collect cell cultures and tally cells during his HIV research.
