Deskripsi
Infection of African green monkeys with SIV is associated with reduced pathogenicity. Here the authors explore the requirement of differentiated NK cell populations in a pathogenic Rhesus macaque model of SIV infection and show administration of IL-21 and IFNα rescues terminally differentiated NK cells, similarly to what found in African green monkeys, and limits the SIV reservoir in antiretroviral therapy treated macaques.
