ABSTRACT
The restricted major histocompatibilty complex of Mauritian cynomolgus macaques confers exceptional potential on this species in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine development. However, knowledge of the effects of Mhc genetics on commonly used simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and simian/human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) stocks is incomplete. We determined the effect of Mhc haplotypes on SHIVsbg replication kinetics in a cohort of 25 naïve cynomolgus macaques. Haplotype M3 was associated with a 1.58log(10) reduction in viraemia at day 28 post infection (p.i.). Haplotype M6 was associated with elevated SHIVsbg viraemia at days 28 and 56. No significant effect of Mhc class II haplotypes on viral replication was observed. These data emphasise the importance of genetic characterisation of experimental macaques and advance our understanding of host genetic effects in SIV/SHIV models of HIV infection.
