Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Patients infected with HIV-1 develop ocular manifestations, some due to opportunistic infections and others attributed to the virus itself. Among the latter are retinal microvasculopathy and uveitis. We have analysed the ocular phenotype in HIV-transgenic mice. METHODS: We have studied T26 transgenic mice which bear a gag-pol deleted HIV-1 genome. Transgene RNA was detected by Northern analysis. Ocular...
