Replication of the HSIV-vif chimera. (A) Schematic diagram comparing the genomic structures of HIV-1NL4-3, HSIV-vif, and SIVmne027. (B) Replication of HIV-1NL4-3 and HSIV-vif in anti-CD3/anti-CD28-costimulated human PBMC. (C) Replication of HSIV-vif in comparison to SIVmne027 and HIV-1NL4-3 (NL4-3) in anti-CD3/anti-CD28-costimulated Pt PBMC. Duplicate infections were carried out at an MOI of 0.01. Replication was monitored by determining the amount of infectious virus produced per ml at 3- to 4-day intervals postinfection using TZM-bl reporter cells. Infections of two different macaque donors are shown and were performed using independently derived stocks of virus.
