RESUMO
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) readily infects both humans and chimpanzees, but the pathologic outcomes of infection in these two species differ greatly. In attempts to identify virus-cell interactions that might account for this differential pathogenicity, chimpanzee peripheral blood lymphocytes and bone marrow macrophages were assessed in vitro for their ability to support the replication of several HIV-1 isolates. Although the IIIb, RF, and MN isolates did not readily infect chimpanzee peripheral blood lymphocytes, an isolate of HIV-1 passaged in vivo in chimpanzees not only replicated well in both chimpanzee peripheral blood lymphocytes and bone marrow macrophages but also was cytopathic for chimpanzee CD4+ lymphocytes. Because no evidence of HIV-induced disease has been observed in chimpanzees infected with this isolate, in vitro replication to high titers with concomitant loss of CD4+ cells is not, in this instance, a correlate of pathogenicity. These observations, therefore, indicate that caution must be used when making extrapolations from in vitro data to in vivo pathogenesis.
