FIG. 2.

Detection of SVV DNA in ganglia from monkeys naturally infected with SVV. DNA samples extracted from pooled cervical (C), thoracic (T), lumbar (L), and sacral (S) ganglia and from the lungs and livers of two monkeys (no. 165 and 166) exposed to an intratracheally infected monkey (no. 164) were analyzed by nested PCR with primers and probes specific for SVV ORF 63 to amplify a 219-bp fragment. No DNA was included in one of the reactions (No DNA). DNA samples from uninfected (BSC-1 DNA) and SVV-infected (SVV-BSC-1 DNA) BSC-1 cells in culture were used as negative and positive controls, respectively.
