Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of an HTLV-III-related retrovirus from macaques with simian AIDS and its possible origin in asymptomatic mangabeys
Michael Murphey-Corb,Louis N. Martin,S. R. S. Rangan,Gary B. Baskin,Bobby J. Gormus,Robert H. Wolf,W. Abe Andes,Melanie West,Ronald C. Montelaro +8 more
TL;DR: The isolation of an HTLV- III-related retrovirus, STLV-III/Delta, from rhesus macaques with transmissible simian AIDS and from asymptomatic sooty mangabeys is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A formalin-inactivated whole SIV vaccine confers protection in macaques
Michael Murphey-Corb,Louis N. Martin,Billie Davison-Fairburn,Ronald C. Montelaro,Mark A. Miller,Melanie West,Susumu Ohkawa,Gary B. Baskin,Jing Yu Zhang,Scott D. Putney,Anthony C. Allison,Deborah A. Eppstein +11 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that a whole virus vaccine is highly effective in inducing immune responses that can protect against lentivirus infection and AIDS-like disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simian immunodeficiency virus/delta-induced immunodeficiency disease in rhesus monkeys: relation of antibody response and antigenemia.
Jing Yu Zhang,Louis N. Martin,Louis N. Martin,Edwin A. Watson,Edwin A. Watson,Ronald C. Montelaro,Ronald C. Montelaro,Melanie West,Melanie West,Leon G. Epstein,Leon G. Epstein,Michael Murphey-Corb,Michael Murphey-Corb +12 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that SIV/Delta-induced disease is dependent upon antigenemic episodes that, particularly in animals with CNS infection, appear coincident with diminished antibody.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparative elution of proteins from nitrocellulose membranes after separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
TL;DR: The recommended procedures for protein elution appear to offer a rapid, simple, and efficient means of recovering proteins from complex mixtures after separation by SDS-PAGE and transfer to nitrocellulose membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of SIV/deltaB670 glycoprotein-enriched and glycoprotein-depleted subunit vaccines in protecting against infection and disease in rhesus monkeys.
Michael Murphey-Corb,Ronald C. Montelaro,Mark A. Miller,Melanie West,Louis N. Martin,Billie Davison-Fairburn,Susumu Ohkawa,Gary B. Baskin,Jing Yu Zhang,G B Miller +9 more
TL;DR: Subunit vaccines containing sufficient quantities of viral glycoproteins can protect against SIV infection, whereas subunit vaccines composed predominantly of viral core proteins cannot.
