Chronic alcohol accentuates simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-associated wasting. [PDF]
Background: Survival following human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has improved significantly following the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy. A large percentage of HIV‐infected patients consume and abuse alcohol. Erosion of lean body mass is an important contributing factor to patient morbidity and mortality, and is a common ...

Functional deficiency of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [PDF]
Summary The functional characteristics of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (pmn), considered to be the first line of host defense against infections, from rhesus macaques confirmed to have simian retrovirus (srv)-induced simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (saids), were evaluated.

Dot immunobinding assay compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for rapid and specific detection of retrovirus antibody induced by human or simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [PDF]
A rapid, specific, and sensitive modification of the dot immunobinding assay was compared with the standard enzyme immunoassay as a screening procedure for the detection of antibody in human or simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Comparative testing with the available enzyme immunoassay procedures, either in commercial kit form or as provided by

Increased expression of the inflammatory chemokine CXC chemokine ligand 9/monokine induced by interferon-γ in lymphoid tissues of rhesus macaques during simian immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [PDF]
AbstractChemokines are important mediators of cell trafficking during immune inductive and effector activities, and dysregulation of their expression might contribute to the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and the related simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).

Simian Models of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS): A Review [PDF]
Reports of the unprecedented occurrence of Kaposi’s sarcoma and fatal Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in previously healthy homosexual men in New York and California in 198 1 heralded the onset of the current human epidemic known as the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome Since those initial reports, the incidence and spread of this disease have ...

Saliva and urine specimens from rhesus monkeys with SAIDS were found to contain a type D retrovirus related to Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV) which has been linked etiologically to SAIDS. Virus isolates from saliva and urine were shown to have the characteristics of the SAIDS agent by their reverse transcriptase divalent cation preference for ...

Immunologic Alterations in Monkeys with Simian Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (SAIDS)
Levels of lymphocyte responsiveness to T- and B-cell-specific mitogens and expressions of Ia, T4, T8, and T11 surface markers were monitored during the course of Simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (SAIDS) in four Rhesus macaques that either died or became ill and survived.
