Abstract
Immunocompromised hosts comprising xenogeneic fetal lymph node tissue implanted in the ear pinna are provided. The chimeric hosts are prepared by inserting the xenogeneic lymph node tissue into the ear pinna and closing the incision. The tissue is found to be rapidly vascularized and can be productively infected with HIV.
