Animal models of HIV-1 disease
Article Abstract:
The SCID-hu mouse is a good example of an animal model developed to study HIV-1 disease and assessed for utility. Other animal models for research on HIV vaccines and pathogenic mechanisms include transgenic mouse models, animal lentivirus models and HIV infection models.
