The chimpanzee and other non-human-primate models in HIV-1 vaccine research
2000
Abstract Animal models are of great importance for the study of disease pathogenesis, particularly non-human-primate models of infectious diseases. The role of non-human primates in HIV-1 research is continually discussed and debated. Here, we examine three primate models: chimpanzee–HIV-1, rhesus macaque–simian immunodeficiency virus and rhesus macaque–SHIV, and discuss immunological similarities and differences, safety and monetary issues, and ethical concerns.
