To elucidate the relationship between early viral infection events
and immunodeficiency virus disease progression,
quantitative-competitive and branched-DNA methods of simian
immunodeficiency virus (SIV) RNA quantitation were cross-validated and
used to measure viremia following infection of rhesus macaques with the
pathogenic SIVmac251 virus isolate. Excellent correlation between the
methods suggests that both accurately approximate SIV copy number.
Plasma viremia was evident 4 days postinfection, and rapid viral
expansion led to peak viremia levels of 107 to
109 SIV RNA copies/ml by days 8 to 17. Limited resolution
of primary viremia was accompanied by relatively short, though
variable, times to the development of AIDS (81 to 630 days). The
persistent high-level viremia observed following intravenous
inoculation of SIVmac251 explains the aggressive disease course in this
model. Survival analyses demonstrated that the disease course is
established 8 to 17 days postinfection, when peak viremia is observed.
The most significant predictor of disease progression was the extent of
viral decline following peak viremia; larger decrements in viremia were
associated with both lower steady-state viremia (P = 0.0005) and a reduced hazard of AIDS (P = 0.004). The
data also unexpectedly suggested that following SIVmac251 infection,
animals with the highest peak viremia were better able to control virus replication rather than more rapidly developing disease. Analysis of
early viral replication dynamics should help define host responses that
protect from disease progression and should provide quantitative measures to assess the extent to which protective responses may be
induced by prophylactic vaccination.
