Abstract excerpt
We are developing a method of gene therapy of HIV infection based on the low constitutive expression of an interferon beta (IFN-beta) gene in HIV target cells. Herein we report the first step in the development of a relevant animal model, provided by the macaque (Macaca fascicularis) infected with a pathogenic SIVmac251 isolate. To avoid the possibility of in vivo rejection of macaque lymphocytes expressing Hu...
