The expression of the Siglec family of molecules by hematopoietic cells from uninfected and SIV infected disease susceptible rhesus macaques (RM) and SIV infected disease resistant sooty mangabeys (SM) and for comparison humans was carried out. The predominant cell lineage in all three species expressing Siglec's was monocytes. The major finding by both a cross sectional and a prospective SIV infection study showed that, whereas monocytes from RM show marked increase in each Siglec constitutively expressed, monocytes from SM showed marked decreases in Siglec-1 expression. While monocytes from all three species constitutively expressed Siglec-3, human monocytes in addition expressed Siglec-5 and -9 and to a lower density 7, monocytes from RM expressed Siglec-7 and those from SM expressed Siglec-1. Monocytes from all three species, however, expressed mRNA for Siglec-1, -5, -7 and -9. The reasons for the failure to detect these molecules at the protein level and the mechanisms for such distinct effects of SIV infection on Siglec expression are discussed.

Background: Late-stage human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is typically characterized by low CD4 + T-cell count. We previously showed that profound changes in the monocyte turnover (MTO) rate in rhesus macaques infected by the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) outperforms declining CD4 + T-cell counts in predicting rapid health decline associated with progression to terminal disease. High MTO is associated with increased tissue macrophage death.

Supplementing textbooks with primary literature in teaching neuroscience is a growing practice associated with several positive outcomes, such as increased content knowledge, research and data skills, and critical thinking. This pedagogical approach, however, still needs further development to make it accessible to instructors and valuable to students. This article describes a series of published articles we used in an undergraduate neuroimmunology course.

The Eurasian avian-like (EA) H1N1 swine influenza virus (SIV) possesses the capacity to instigate the next influenza pandemic, owing to its heightened affinity for the human-type α-2,6 sialic acid (SA) receptor. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying the switch in receptor binding preferences of EA H1N1 SIV remain elusive. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen utilizing EA H1N1 SIV in porcine kidney cells.

The latent viral reservoir remains the major barrier to HIV cure, placing the burden of strict adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) on people living with HIV to prevent recrudescence of viremia. For infants with perinatally acquired HIV, adherence is anticipated to be a lifelong need. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that administration of ART and viral Envelope-specific rhesus-derived IgG1 monoclonal antibodies (RhmAbs) with or without the IL-15 superagonist N-803 early in infection would limit viral reservoir establishment in SIV-infected infant rhesus macaques.

The membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of the HIV-1 envelope is a target for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), and vaccine-elicited MPER-directed antibodies have recently been reported from a human clinical trial. In this study, we sought to identify MPER-directed nAbs in simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected rhesus macaques. We isolated four lineages of SIV MPER-directed nAbs from two SIV-infected macaques.
