ABSTRACT:
HIV-1 does not cause disease in any non-human species. Thus, there is no animal model system to evaluate the efficacy of strategies aimed at preventing or ameliorating disease caused by this virus. The instant invention provides an animal model for HIV-1 induced disease, virus for generating such model animals, and methods for generating pathogenic SHIV.
