Abstract
Currently, 5 distinct Simian type D retrovirus serotypes have been defined: SRV-1 (Calif., New Eng.), SRV-2 (2R, 2C), SRV-3 (MPMV), SRV-4 (Calif. Cyno), and SRV-5 (Chinese). Neutralizing antibodies made against the indicated Simian viruses do not cross react. Thus, we may be able to produce synthetic envelope peptides specific for each Simian virus serotype and make antibodies against the neutralizing epitopes. The experiments presented here with SRV-1 and SRV-2 viruses represent our attempts to develop a model approach for the preparation of synthetic envelope peptide vaccines.
