- Title
Finally, a Macaque Model for Cell-Associated SIV/HIV Vaginas Transmission.
- Authors
Anderson, Deborah J.
- Abstract
The author reflects on the new macaque model for the transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected cells in vaginal cavity. The author says that various studies have revealed the effectiveness of HIV-infected cells as compared to cell-free viruses that infect subepithelial cells into epithelial monolayer cultures. He notes that the model is capable of assessing the involvement of risk factors in the transmission and defining contributory molecular mechanisms of the activity.
