Abstract
⺠Intracellular homologous recombination was employed to generate a new SHIV strain. ⺠The generated SHIV 97ZA012 carried nearly the entire Env of subtype C isolate 97ZA012. ⺠SHIV 97ZA012 replicated to high titers in monkey PBMCs, as did SIV239. ⺠SHIV 97ZA012 was infectious to monkey alveolar macrophages. ⺠The virus caused high viremia and pulmonary CD4+ T-cell depletion during the acute phase.
