Complex splicing of simian immunodeficiency virus (mac 251-32H) rev gene transcript from infected macaques.

Sequences of the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) rev mRNA transcripts were characterized from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of two macaques experimentally infected with SIVmac251 (32H reisolate). This analysis has demonstrated that the complex splicing patterns observed for the rev mRNA transcripts originally identified in vitro is not an artifact of tissue culture, but is also found in vivo.

The use of the polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Simian immunodeficiency virus in experimentally infected macaques.

A rapid, non-radioactive assay for the detection of proviral Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in tissue-culture cells is described. The assay is based on the co-amplification of the SIV env and gag genes by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). When the gag PCR product is blotted onto a nylon membrane and hybridised to a radioactive oligonucleotide probe, the assay can also be used to detect the SIV gag gene in DNA isolated directly from experimentally infected cynomolgus macaque lymphocytes. This provides a valuable assay for the presence of proviral SIV during animal trials of AIDS vaccines and chemotherapeutics.
