| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is aimed to establish a new animal model for AIDS. To attempt the development of mice having monkey immune cells (simianized mice), rhesus macaque hematopoietic stem cells (rHSCs) were transplanted into immunocompromised mice (NOG mice). After rHSCs transplantation, monkey CD4 positive T cells were persistently detected in mice peripheral blood. When these mice were infected with SIV (SIVmac239 or SIV PBj), SIVDNA / RNA was detected in the peripheral blood of mice, and the presence of the virus was also confirmed in these mice tissues. There were significant differences in pathogenicity between SIVmac239 or SIV PBj inoculated mice similar to those observed in monkeys in each SIV infection. From the above, it was suggested that the simian mouse may be used for the virus research including AIDS pathogenicity.
