Macaque interferon-induced transmembrane proteins limit replication of SHIV strains in an Envelope-dependent manner.
HIV-1 does not persistently infect macaques due in part to restriction by several macaque host factors. This has been partially circumvented by generating chimeric SIV/HIV-1 viruses (SHIVs) that encode SIV antagonist of known restriction factors. However, most SHIVs replicate poorly in macaques unle...
