Herpesvirus saimiri-induced lymphoproliferative disease in howler monkeys

Herpesvirus saimiri-induced lymphoproliferative disease in howler monkeys

S R Rangan et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 1977 Jul.

Abstract

Four of 5 howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya) experimentally infected with Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) developed a rapidly fatal malignant lymphoma accompanied by peripheral T-cell lymphocytosis. HVS was isolated from fresh and tissue cultured blood and tissue lymphocytes and from cell cultures derived from nonlymphoid organs. Humoral antibodies against HVS-induced antigens were detected in the sera of the animals. The in vitro response of the peripheral blood lymphocytes to mitogenic stimulants was depressed following HVS infection.
