Description:
Macaque monkeys with the recently described acquired immunodeficiency syndrome show a marked defect in T-lymphocyte function and die with opportunistic infections and lymphoproliferative abnormalities. In the study described here a new type D retrovirus was isolated from two Macaca cyclopis with this syndrome. This virus is related to, but distinct from, Mason-Pfizer monkey virus, a type D retrovirus previously isolated from a mammary tumor of a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Daniel, M D -- King, N W -- Letvin, N L -- Hunt, R D -- Sehgal, P K -- Desrosiers, R C -- R01-A1 20729/PHS HHS/ -- RR00168/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Feb 10;223(4636):602-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6695172" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
