Abstract
We studied 15 macaques inoculated with SIV and identified three phases of infection. Phase 1 was characterized by activated lymphocytes in blood and infected cells in the CSF. In phase 2, activated cells were not detected but virus was recovered from mitogen-stimulated PBMC, while in phase 3, virus was recovered from mitogen-stimulated PBMC only after depletion of CD8+ lymphocytes, indicating effective control of the virus in peripheral blood. Early development of phase 3 status correlated with a longer period of clinical normalcy.Entities:
