Gastrointestinal Tract as a Major Site of CD4 + T Cell Depletion and Viral Replication in SIV Infection

Abstract

Human and simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV and SIV) replicate optimally in activated memory CD4 + T cells, a cell type that is abundant in the intestine. SIV infection of rhesus monkeys resulted in profound and selective depletion of CD4 + T cells in the intestine within days of infection, before any such changes in peripheral lymphoid tissues. The loss of CD4 + T cells in the intestine occurred coincident with productive infection of large numbers of mononuclear cells at this site. The intestine appears to be a major target for SIV replication and the major site of CD4 + T cell loss in early SIV infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
