Abstract
We studied 15 macaques inoculated with SIV and identified three phases of infection. Phase 1 was characterized by activated lymphocytes in blood and infected cells in the CSF. In phase 2, activated cells were not detected but virus was recovered from mitogen‐stimulated PBMC, while in phase 3, virus was recovered from mitogen‐stimulated PBMC only after depletion of CD8+ lymphocytes, indicating effective control of the virus in peripheral blood. Early development of phase 3 status correlated with a longer period of clinical normalcy. 1994 Munksgaard
