Effect of Mycobacterial Infection on Virus Loads and Disease Progression in Simian Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Rhesus Monkeys

Abstract: The effect of a mycobacterial infection on AIDS disease was studied in the simian model. Monkeys were infected with the primary virulent isolate SIV/DeltaB670 and inoculated 90 days later with BCG, an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis. All monkeys experienced a dramatic transient increase in plasma viremia and CCR5 expression on T lymphocytes after BCG inoculation. Only two of the four SIV+ animals had substantial proliferative responses to PPD, with poor responders developing disseminated BCG during th… Show more

“…Moreover, a high degree of viral replication in early SIV mac -infected macaques appears to be required for successful induction of the fatal BCG disease. This requirement may indeed provide an explanation for why SIV-BCG coinfection cannot uniformly induce the tuberculosis-like disease in nonhuman primates (7,9). Modeling virus-mycobacterium coinfection for HIV-related tuberculosis in macaques certainly remains challenging.…”

“…tuberculosis coinfection have been developed (19,23,83,(92)(93)(94)112). SIV-infected rhesus macaques have been inoculated with BCG (19,(92)(93)(94) or M. tuberculosis (83). These models have recapitulated the decrease in peripheral mycobacterium-specific T cell responses observed in HIV/M.…”

“…Cell numbers were determined by trypan blue exclusion in single-cell suspensions from tissues. Flow cytometry was performed on lung, granuloma, and lymph node cell preparations at necropsy to determine the composition of the tissues, as previously described (67,69). Abs used were anti-CD3 (clone SP34), anti-CD14 (clone MOP9), anti-CD4 (clone SK3), antiCD11b (clone ICRF44), anti-CD16 (clone 3G8), anti-CD8 (clone SK1), and anti-HLA-DR (clone TU36), all from BD Biosciences (Mountain View, CA).…”
