In findings that have implications for potential new HIV therapies, researchers from Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) used genetic sequencing techniques on the nonhuman primate ...

Genetic variants of human and simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV and SIV) that evolve during the course of infection and progression to AIDS are phenotypically and antigenically distinct from their ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) find that different parts of simian immunodeficiency virus viral protein U are needed to interact with the same host protein in monkeys ...

A protein from Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), which can infect monkeys and apes, has shown promise as a potential component of a vaccine against Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). A protein ...

University of Colorado Boulder researchers studying the emergence of viruses from wildlife populations provide a key clue to how simian immunodeficiency virus emerged from monkeys, ultimately starting ...

Simian immunodeficiency virus, the monkey- and ape-infecting virus that HIV originated from, may have influenced the genetics of chimpanzees, finds a new UCL-led study.

The key obstacle against the cure of human and simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV/SIV) infections is the reservoir of proviruses, which are robustly incorporated into the genomes of host CD4+ T cells.

Genetic engineering can make immune cells resistant to infection with human or monkey (simian) immunodeficiency virus (HIV and SIV, respectively). Recently, treatment with HIV-resistant immune cells ...

The ancestry of the virus that caused the AIDS epidemic has been traced to two strains of virus found in monkeys in Africa. The viruses probably passed into chimpanzees when the apes ate infected ...

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses arise early after human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection and are important in controlling viral replication ...

A new study has shed light on how human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may have evolved from the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) that originated in non-human primates. Until now, researchers have ...

A potentially dangerous virus is moving from nonhuman primates to Africans who hunt and eat wild animals, a new study suggests. Scientists say reducing people’s consumption of wild-animal meat could ...
