The rate of progression to AIDS is independent of virus dose in simian immunodeficiency virus-infected macaques Free

Abstract

Of the viral factors that are proposed to influence the rate of progression to AIDS, the role of infectious dose remains unresolved. Intravenous infection of outbred with various doses of simian immunodeficiency virus isolate 8980 (SIV) revealed an endpoint from which an infectious dose 50 (ID) was defined. In the six infected animals, the time to develop AIDS was variable with a spectrum of rapid, intermediate and slow progressors. High and sustained plasma viraemia with marked loss of CD4 T-cells was a distinguishing feature between rapid versus intermediate and slow progressors. Animals that received the highest doses did not develop the highest sustained viral loads, nor did they progress more rapidly to disease. Similarly, animals infected with lower doses did not uniformly develop lower viral loads or progress more slowly to AIDS. Furthermore, compiled data from more than 21 animals infected with different doses of the same virus administered by the same route failed to reveal any correlation of infectious dose with survival. Indeed, host factors of these outbred animals, rather than dose of the initial inoculum, were probably an important factor influencing the rate of disease progression in each individual animal. Comparison of animals infected with SIV, from which SIV was derived, revealed marked differences in disease progression. Clearly, although dose did not influence viral loads nor disease progression, the virulence of the initial inoculum was a major determinant of the rate of progression to AIDS.
