AB OBJECTIVES: The survival time after SIV inoculation to rhesus monkeys
varied from animal to animals. We searched for the parameters that could
predict the fate of the monkeys inoculated with SIV. METHODS: SIVmac
were inoculated to 8 rhesus and 2 cynomolgus monkeys. Six out of 8
rhesus macaque died of AIDS, while 2 cynomolgus monkeys still alive.
Periodical results of serum biochemical analyses, antibody (Ab) titer,
CD4/CD8 ratio and autopsy were compared in relation to the predictive
values to the end stage of infected monkeys. RESULTS: Analyses of the
periodical data of serum biochemical values revealed that elevated alpha
1 acid glycoprotein (alpha 1-AG) level can predict the end stage of the
infected monkeys, regardless of their individual symptoms. Moreover, the
increase in plasma alpha 1-AG was observed as the earliest sign among
serum protein alterations at the end stage of AIDS monkeys. We also
found that alpha 1-AG increased immediate after SIV infection prior to
the raise of the Ab to SIV without exceptions. CONCLUSION: The elevated
plasma level of alpha 1-AG could be the sign for the successful
inoculation of SIV in early stage and also be the signal to predict the
end stage of the SIV infected monkeys.
