BACKGROUND Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a model for HIV pathogenesis, is associated with neuropathology. METHODS Five SIV-infected animals were selected following a database search of 1206 SIV-infected animals for nodular or astrocytic lesions. Two of five had neurologic dysfunction, and 3 of 5 were incidental findings. RESULTS Histologic examination revealed multifocal nodular foci in the gray and white matter formed by interlacing astrocytes with abundant cytoplasm and large, reactive nuclei. Nodules were often enmeshed with small capillaries. Immunohistochemistry revealed variable immunoreactivity for a panel of markers: GFAP (4/5), vimentin (5/5), Glut-1 (1/5), CNPase (0/5), S100 (5/5), Iba1 (0/5), Ki67 (0/5), and p53 (4/4). In situ hybridization failed to detect any SIV RNA (0/5). Immunohistochemistry for simian virus 40, rhesus cytomegalovirus, and rhesus lymphocryptovirus failed to detect any antigen within the lesions. CONCLUSIONS The immunoreactivity of p53 in the lesions compared with adjacent tissue suggests a local derangement in astrocyte proliferation and function.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
