Selective Expression of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Nef in Specific Immune Cell Populations of Transgenic Mice Is Associated with Distinct AIDS-Like Phenotypes
16 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that CD4C/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)(Nef) transgenic (Tg) mice, expressing Nef in CD4(+) T cells and cells of the macrophage/dendritic cell (DC) lineage, develop a severe AIDS-like disease, characterized by depletion of CD4(+) T cells, as well as lung, heart, and kidney diseases. In order to determine the contribution of distinct populations of hematopoietic cells to the development...
