Cyclic changes in the vaginal epithelium of normal rhesus macaques.
Studies in nonhuman primates indicate that changes in the thickness and integrity of the vaginal epithelium affect the transmission rates of HIV-1, but few studies have examined the normal variations that may occur in the vagina of normal macaques as a result of aging or changes in the menstrual cycle. This study was conducted to determine if differences occur in the thickness of the vaginal mu...
متن کاملPrevention of Vaginal Shiv Transmission in Rhesus Macaques through Inhibition
mune compromise occurs very early in the diseases process. Of great importance is the failure of long-term ( 5 years) highly active retroviral therapy to reverse this sitespecific T-cell depletion. Additionally, other studies have demonstrated that HIV is consistently detectable in the intestine of HIV-infected patients, even those with no detectable plasma virus. Current therapies are inadequa...
متن کاملDistribution of tissue water and electrolytes in normal rhesus macaques.
Techniques for the determination of water and electrolytes in individual tissues of normal rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) are described. Base-line values are presented for intracellular and extracellular distributions of water and electrolytes in 14 tissues, including skin, skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius), cardiac muscle (left ventricle), lung, diaphragm, liver, renal cortex, outer medulla an...
متن کاملZika virus preferentially replicates in the female reproductive tract after vaginal inoculation of rhesus macaques
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted virus that can cause severe defects in an infected fetus. ZIKV is also transmitted by sexual contact, although the relative importance of sexual transmission is unclear. To better understand the role of sexual transmission in ZIKV pathogenesis, a nonhuman primate (NHP) model of vaginal transmission was developed. ZIKV was readily transmitted to mature...
متن کاملSustained release of the CCR5 inhibitors CMPD167 and maraviroc from vaginal rings in rhesus macaques.
Antiretroviral entry inhibitors are now being considered as vaginally administered microbicide candidates for the prevention of the sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus. Previous studies testing the entry inhibitors maraviroc and CMPD167 in aqueous gel formulations showed efficacy in the macaque challenge model, although protection was highly dependent on the time period between ...
