Ten healthy adult cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were inoculated with two different isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2), SBL-6669 and SBL-K135, to establish an animal model for HIV infection. HIV-2SBL-6669 had been propagated for a long time in continuous human cell lines whereas HIV-2SBL-K135 had been grown only in fresh human and monkey lymphocyte cultures or previously for a short time in a continuous cell line. Virus was isolated from three or four animals inoculated with HIV-2SBL-K135 but in none of six monkeys inoculated with HIV-2SBL-6669. All animals seroconverted although the antibody response was higher in SBL-K135 virus-infected monkeys. Varying degrees of lymphadenopathy were observed but there were no significant changes in the numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. The infection was transferred to two monkeys inoculated with blood from a previously SBL-K135 virus-infected monkey. Four animals inoculated with HIV-2SBL-K135, which had never been propagated in continuous human cell lines, showed strong antibody responses against both gag- and env- encoded proteins of HIV-2. None of the SBL-6669 infected monkeys showed antibodies to core proteins. HIV-2 infection of cynomolgus monkeys represents a useful experimental model for HIV vaccine trials and antiviral testing.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D006377 T-Lymphocytes, Helper-Inducer Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes that cooperate with other lymphocytes (either T or B) to initiate a variety of immune functions. For example, helper-inducer T-cells cooperate with B-cells to produce antibodies to thymus-dependent antigens and with other subpopulations of T-cells to initiate a variety of cell-mediated immune functions.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
