• Evaluation of cellular immunity in the intestinal lamina propria of rhesus macaques has been used previously to assess protective immunity against mucosal simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) challenges. (nih.gov)
  • Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (M-PMV), formerly Simian retrovirus (SRV), is a species of retroviruses that usually infect and cause a fatal immune deficiency in Asian macaques. (wikipedia.org)

  • SIV-specific immune responses, including IgG and IgA binding antibodies in sera and mucosal secretions, IgG and IgA secreting cells in peripheral blood, IgG neutralizing antibodies, T-cell proliferative responses, and interferon-gamma secretion by peripheral blood mononuclear cells, were evaluated pre- and post-surgery in macaques immunized with adenovirus-SIV recombinant vaccines and SIV envelope protein and in SIV-infected macaques. (nih.gov)
  • To prevent the infection of this virus, two vaccines have been developed: a formalin-inactivated vaccine SRV-1 and a recombinant vaccine expressing M-PMV envelope glycoprotein gp70 and gp22. (wikipedia.org)

  • A dramatic increase in total IgA antibody level following surgery in the rectal secretions of one SIV-infected macaque that was rapidly progressing to AIDS and failed to recover from surgery was attributed to an abscess that developed at the intestinal site. (nih.gov)
  • Vaccine protection against rectal acquisition of SIVmac239 in rhesus macaques. (umassmed.edu)
