Whole genome sequencing of SIV-infected macaques identifies candidate loci that may contribute to host control of virus replication
1 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A small percentage of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected people and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected macaques control virus replication without antiretroviral treatment. The major determinant of this control is host expression of certain major histocompatibility complex alleles. However, this association is incompletely penetrant, suggesting that additional loci modify the major...
