Adaptation of HIV-1 to pigtailed macaques.
In vitro infectivity experiments were performed to assess the susceptibility of cells from various monkey species to HIV-1. T lymphocytes from pigtailed macaques, but not those from rhesus or cynomolgus monkeys, were susceptible to infection, but virus expression was limited. The majority of HIV-1 isolates were unable to productively infect pigtailed macaque cells. Inoculation of autologous, HIV-1 expressing cells led to establishment of persistent infection in pigtailed macaques as evidenced by recovery of infectious virus and development of virus-specific antibody responses.
