“…However, the duration of plasma DNAemia was significantly shortened in immunocompetent, but not in CD4 + T cell-depleted animals. Since vFcγRs were not required for superinfection of rhesus macaques, we conclude that these proteins can prolong lytic replication during primary infection by evading virus-specific adaptive immune responses, particularly antibodies.…”
