The northern pig-tailed macaque (Macaca leonina) has been identified as an independent species of Old World monkey, and we previously found that PBMCs from M leonina were susceptible to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), which may be due to the absence of a TRIMS protein restricting HIV-1 replication. Here we investigated the infection potentials of six laboratory adapted HIV-1 strains and three primary HIV-1 isolates in PBMCs from M leonina. The results indicate that these strains are characterized by various but low replication levels, and among which, HIV-1(NL4-3) shows the highest replication ability. Based on the abundant evidence of species-specific interactions between restriction factors APOBEC3 and HIV/SIV-derived Vif protein, we subsequently examined the replication potentials of vif-substituted HIV-1 (HSIV) in M leonina PBMCs. Notably, HSIV-vif(mac) and stHIV-1(sv) chimeras, two HIV-1(NL4-3)-derived viruses encoding the viral infectivity factor (Vif) protein from SIVmac239, replicated robustly in cells from M leonina, which suggests that HSIV could effectively antagonize the antiviral activity of APOBEC3 proteins expressed in cells of M leonina. Therefore, our data demonstrate that M leonina has the potential to be developed into a promising animal model for human AIDS.
