The use of China-derived monkeys in AIDS research has been limited by reports of reduced susceptibility to SIV. We performed a serial passage of SIV in Chinese macaques, which resulted in a viral stock capable of inducing simian AIDS and high levels of replication in these animals. Similar to HIV in humans, SIV pathogenesis in non-human primates is not limited by geographical origin. Chinese macaques are useful in pathogenesis, vaccine, and therapeutic studies in AIDS.
源自中国的猴子在艾滋病研究中的应用受到了对猴免疫缺陷病毒(SIV)易感性降低报道的限制。我们在中国猕猴中对SIV进行了连续传代,从而获得了一种病毒株,该病毒株能够在这些动物中诱发猴艾滋病并实现高水平复制。与人类中的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)类似,非人灵长类动物中SIV的发病机制不受地理来源的限制。中国猕猴在艾滋病的发病机制、疫苗及治疗研究中具有重要作用。
