Abstract excerpt
Four successive, rapid serial passages of the nonpathogenic, CCR5-tropic simian-human immunodeficiency virus SHIV(SF162) in rhesus macaques resulted in an increase in acute plasma viremia with each passage and the emergence of a pathogenic isolate SHIV(SF162P3) in one of the passage three transfer animals (macaque T353). To explore the mechanism(s) underlying increased virulence of SHIV(SF162) upon in vivo...
