Induction of inhibitory antibodies to the CCR5 chemokine receptor and their complementary role in preventing SIV infection in macaques
The seven‐transmembrane G‐protein‐linked CCR5 molecule functions as a major coreceptor for HIV or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection. Antibodies to CCR5 were studied in rhesus macaques immunized with SIV grown in human CD4+ T cells. These macaques were completely protected against i.v. ch...

Zusammenfassung: | The seven‐transmembrane G‐protein‐linked CCR5 molecule functions as a major coreceptor for HIV or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection. Antibodies to CCR5 were studied in rhesus macaques immunized with SIV grown in human CD4+ T cells. These macaques were completely protected against i.v. challenge with live SIV. Sera from the protected macaques showed significantly greater inhibition of SIV replication (p |
