Human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV) downregulate major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules from the surface of infected cells. Although this activity is conserved across viral isolates, its importance in AIDS pathogenesis is not clear. We therefore developed an assay to detect the level of MHC-I expression of SIV-infected cells directly ex vivo. Here we show that the extent of MHC-I downregulation is greatest in SIVmac239-infected macaques that never effectively control virus replication. Our results suggest that a high level of MHC-I downregulation is a hallmark of fast disease progression in SIV infection.
