Replication and persistence of simian immunodeficiency virus variants after passage in macaque lymphocytes and established human cell lines.

Abstract excerpt

In lentivirus infections, there are typically few cells in the host that harbor the provirus. For this reason, molecular clones of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV) are generally derived after passage and amplification of the virus in cell culture. To determine whether SIV variants that persist in culture are similar to the variants that predominate in the host, we examined the proviral...
