巴斯德研究所(法国巴黎)的Luc Montagnier和他的同事证实,存在着第二种艾滋病毒。据他们报道,该病毒是在西部非洲的人体内发现的,能引起免疫缺陷综合症。现在,他们已在30例患者身上(其中17例出现十足的艾滋病症状,而4例出现与艾滋病相关的综合症)鉴定了对该病毒的抗体。从11例患者的淋巴细胞中得到了逆转录病毒的分离株,并且用DNA 探针进行了分析。所有的新病毒(HIV-2)都已被鉴定,而没有一株是原始的艾滋病毒(HIV-1)。这些结果实质上表明:HIV-2具有感染性并引起艾滋病;但尚未弄清 HIV-2的流行程度是怎样的,也不知道它是否有与 HIV-1一样的致病性。但几乎可以肯定,艾滋病
Luc Montagnier of Pasteur Institute (Paris, France) and his colleagues confirmed the existence of a second HIV virus. According to them, the virus was found in the human body in West Africa and can cause immune deficiency syndrome. Now, they have identified antibodies to the virus in 30 patients, 17 of whom showed symptoms of AIDS and 4 in AIDS-related syndromes. Retroviral isolates were obtained from lymphocytes of 11 patients and analyzed with DNA probes. All new viruses (HIV-2) have been identified, none of which is the original HIV-1. These results indicate essentially that HIV-2 is infectious and causes AIDS; however, it is unclear what the HIV-2 epidemic is and whether it has the same pathogenicity as HIV-1. But almost certainly, AIDS
