Abstract excerpt
In contrast to pig-tailed and cynomolgus macaques, which die in 6-10 days following infection with the SIV-PBj-14 isolate, only about 50% of rhesus succumbed to rapid disease. Using a CD45RA MAb that delineates memory (CD45RAlo), naive (CD45RAmed) and "activated" (CD45RAhi) T-cell subsets, it was seen that PBMC from pig-tailed and cynomolgus monkeys, unlike rhesus, have reduced CD4/CD8 ratios and a skewing of T...
