spectrum of target cells in the CNS in both
infections is apparently similar. As there is
increasing evidence that the nervous system is
one of the primary target organs of infection
with HIV, visna of sheep offers a promising
possibility as a model for trials aimed at
preventing or treating AIDS.
ÞAKKIR
Það yrði of langt mál að geta allra sem
lagt hafa hönd á plóg á ýmsum stigum
þessarar vinnu, en þó skal þökkuð sérstaklega
tæknileg aðstoð Elsu Benediktsdóttur,
Eyglóar Gísladóttur, Roger Lutley, Steinunnar
Amadóttur og Svövu Högnadóttur, ennfremur
þökkum við Margréti Kristinsdóttur fyrir
frágang handrits. Jafnframt skal Dr. V.V.
Joshi þakkað fyrir efnivið úr lungnabólgu
í eyðni og Dr. H. Budka og Dr. Kára
Stefánssyni fyrir efnivið úr heilabólgu í eyðni.
