We previously reported that a severe acquired immune deficiency syndrome-like disease develops in transgenic (Tg) mice expressing the human immunodeficiency virus-1 in its natural target cells: immature and mature CD4(+) T cells and cells of the macrophage/dendritic lineage. Here, we show that these mice also develop cardiac disease, characterized most prominently by a focal myocytolysis, occasionally by...
