Human and simian immunodeficiency virus-infected chimpanzees do not have increased intracellular levels of beta-chemokines in contrast to infected humans Kestens L, et al. Journal of Medical Virology 69 (3): 297-305 MAR 2003 Link This study was undertaken to explain why chimpanzees infected with HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus type 1) or SIVcpz (simian immunodeficiency virus of chimpanzee) are relatively resistant to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The data suggest that neither pre-nor post-exposure levels of intracellular beta-chemokines are correlated with the subsequent control of disease progression. (virology)
