The highly pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus/HIV type 1 (SHIV) chimeric virus SHIVDH12Rinduces a systemic depletion of CD4+T lymphocytes in rhesus monkeys during the initial 3–4 weeks of infection. Nonetheless, high levels of viral RNA production continue unabated for an additional 2–5 months.In situhybridization and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that tissue macrophage in the lymph nodes, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidney sustain high plasma virus loads in the absence of CD4+T cells. Quantitative confocal immunofluorescence analysis indicated that greater than 95% of the virus-producing cells in these tissues are macrophage and less than 2% are T lymphocytes. Interestingly, the administration of a potent reverse transcriptase inhibitor blocked virus production during the early T cell phase but not during the later macrophage phase of the SHIVDH12Rinfection. When interpreted in the context of HIV-1 infections, these results implicate tissue macrophage as an important reservoir of virusin vivo. They become infected during the acute infection, gradually increase in number over time, and can be a major contributor to total body virus burden during the symptomatic phase of the human infection.
