Utilization of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) Infection for Subhuman Primates to Evaluate Experimental Chemotherapy and Vaccines. Determination of the ID50 of Frozen Stock of Two Strains of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus in Macaca Mulatta

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the infectivity of the two strains of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIVmac 251 and SIVmac 239) in rhesus macaques. The data obtained from this study will provide information for the design of future lentiviral vaccine studies involving rhesus macaques and one of the above strains.
