Abstract excerpt
The nef gene of the pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) 239 clone was replaced with primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) nef alleles to investigate whether HIV-1 Nef can substitute for SIV Nef in vivo. Initially, two rhesus macaques were infected with the chimeric viruses (Nef-SHIVs). Most of the nef alleles obtained from both animals predicted intact open reading frames. Furthermore,...
