CD4 depletion in SIV-infected macaques results in macrophage and microglia infection with rapid turnover of infected cells.

CD4 depletion in SIV-infected macaques results in macrophage and microglia infection with rapid turnover of infected cells.

In rhesus macaques (RMs), experimental depletion of CD4+ T-cells prior to SIV infection results in higher viremia and emergence of CD4-independent SIV-envelopes. In this study we used the rhesus recombinant anti-CD4 antibody CD4R1 to deplete RM CD4+ T-cells prior to SIVmac251 infection and investiga...
