Popis: We studied granulomatous inflammation in simian AIDS using histologic, immunohistologic, and in situ hybridization techniques. Complete Freund’s adjuvant was used to induce granulomas in two control animals and two macaques infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and having low peripheral CD4+ T cell counts. Control animals developed large (>2 cm diameter) epithelioid granulomas containing CD68+ macrophages (mφs), epithelioid mφs and multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs), CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and small perivascular collections of CD20+ B cells. Lymphocytes rarely expressed proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Ki-67), and only rare endothelial cells expressed vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1). In contrast, SIV+ animals had smaller (
