A group of three rhesus macaques were inoculated with SIV isolated from a human (SIVhu) accidentally exposed and infected with SIVsm. Extensive sequence analyses of SIVhu obtained from the human and macaques following infection indicated the presence

Until recently, chimpanzees were considered susceptible to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, but refractory to disease induction based on the asymptomatic status of all experimentally infected chimpanzees after over 10 years post

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) fails to replicate in mouse T lymphocytes unless the cells have been mitogenically stimulated with concanavalin A (Con A). We have examined the possibility that the failure of VSV to replicate in unstimulated T lympho

The present study has further characterized the T cell-mediated inflammatory response of contact sensitivity (CS) to the hapten trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB) in mice. A discernible CS response was found to be induced as early as 2 days after epicutane

The in vitro proliferative responses of macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to IL-12 appeared similar before and early after SIV infection, whereas macaque PBMCs sampled during symptomatic stages of SIV infection showed markedly decrea

The role of immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) remains to be elucidated. In this report, the serum cytokine levels of patients who died of EHF were compared with those of patients who recovered and those of control

Several human CC chemokines have been shown to inhibit HIV/ SIV infection in vitro, providing the rationale for their potential use in vivo. However, because of their inherent physiological effect, such chemokines are reasoned to be of limited therap

Most host cells transfected with chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) expressing plasmids display relatively low levels of constitutive CAT activity. While this is ideal to study factors that enhance gene transcription, decreases in CAT levels ar

We examined the response of cells of murine gut-associated lymphoid tissues to agents that augment the activity of natural killer (NK) cells. Specifically, we studied the effect of polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) in vivo , and recombinant

Our earlier studies have demonstrated that intragastric administration of the hapten trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB) 2 to 3 weeks prior to attempting sensitization with epidermally applied hapten can abrogate development of systemic contact sensitivity
