Murine and simian retrovirus models: the threshold hypothesis.
TL;DR: The threshold hypothesis predicts that an opportunity exists during acute retroviral infection to influence the ultimate clinical outcome: if virus replication is kept below threshold by any means, including drug therapy or passive immunoprophylaxis with neutralizing antibodies, the host will prevail and win the race.

Murine Models for Evaluating Antiretroviral Therapy
Ruth M. Ruprecht,L D Bernard,Gama Sosa Ma,Miguel A. Gama Sosa,Fatemeh Fazely,Koch J,Prem L. Sharma,Mullaney S +7 more
TL;DR: Postexposure treatment protocols with 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (zidovudine) combined with recombinant human interferon-alpha A/D, retrovirus-inoculated mice developed immunity to the virus to which they were exposed, which will allow us to determine the nature of protective antiretroviral immunity in inbred mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Antiviral Treatment Strategies in Murine Models
TL;DR: Murine models with type C murine leukemia viruses have been used to develop major new prophylactic and therapeutic strategies in vaccination, drug therapy of acute virus exposure and chronic viremia, combination therapy, prevention of maternal transmission, and therapy targeted to the central nervous system.

Live attenuated HIV as a vaccine for AIDS: pros and cons
Ruth M. Ruprecht,Timothy W. Baba,Timothy W. Baba,An Li,Seyoum Ayehunie,Yuwen Hu,Vladimir Liska,Robert A. Rasmussen,Prem L. Sharma,Prem L. Sharma +9 more
TL;DR: In macaques, live attenuated simian immunodeficiency viruses have provided the best protection to date and safety issues concern insertional oncogenesis, genetic instability, vertical transmission and differential pathogenicity in adults and newborns, and viral persistence during intercurrent illness.
