Abstract
The model of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection in rhesus macaques was used to evaluate the effects of recombinant human interferon alpha, Hu IFN-alpha 2b and Hu IFN-gamma B,D, at two doses. Administration began 1 day prior to infection and was continued for 90 days postinfection. Both interferons suppressed SIV antigenemia during the treatment period. Following treatment animals were monitored for 4 years for rate of disease progression. Neither IFN prolonged the asymptomatic period or survival.Entities:
