Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS), a nonhuman primate gamma herpes virus, was used to immortalize pig-tailed macaque CD4(+) T lymphocytes. The HVS-immortalized T cell lines were used to develop CD4(+) T cell clones from two animals. Three CD4(+) T cell clones were further characterized for the expression of cell surface markers. All expressed CD2, CD4, CD58, CD69 and CD80 and therefore resembled activated T cells. These clones required exogenous IL-2 for efficient growth and were found to be highly susceptible to infection by the challenge virus, Chimeric simian/human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV(KU-1)). They could also be productively infected not only by the quasispecies of the challenge virus (SHIV(KU-1/PDJ) and SHIV(KU-1/PNA), isolated from macaque PDj and PNa, respectively) but also by a different chimeric simian/human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV(89.6P)) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV(MAC239)). The virus-infected CD4(+) T cell clones were also used as stimulators for generation of CTL effectors. These effectors exhibited excellent virus-specific lysis in chromium-release assays when syngenic SHIV(KU-1) infected autologous CD4(+) T cell clones were used as targets. The target cell lysis was virus specific, as uninfected control cells showed no or minimal lysis.
