Macaque Experimental Parameters

Macaque no. Species Age at death (months) Sex Disease at time of sacrifice Length of infection (days) PET scan dates (days after infection) Neuropathological diagnosis
CW06-280 Pigtailed 74 M AIDS 174 0, 65, 100, 142, and 164 SIVE
CW06-282 Pigtailed 81 M AIDS 42 0 and 42 SIVE
CW06-285 Pigtailed 93 M AIDS 51 0 and 51 SIVE
CW06-286 Pigtailed 82 M AIDS 51 0 and 51 SIVE
CW06-288 Pigtailed 83 M AIDS 101 0, 51, 79, and 101 SIVE
CW06-289 Pigtailed 75 M AIDS 128 0, 50, 99, and 120 SIV, no encephalitis
CW06-292 Pigtailed 81 M AIDS 119 0, 50, and 106 SIV, no encephalitis

Seven pigtail macaques infected with SIV were imaged with three-dimensional PET using [11C](R)-PK11195 longitudinally at the indicated time points in column 7. When macaques progressed to AIDS, they were sacrificed, after which they were grouped into SIVE or SIV infected, without encephalitis (SIV no E) categories based on the histopathology (frequency of distribution of multinucleated giant cells, microglial nodules, abundant activated and SIV-infected macrophages, perivascular chronic inflammation per ×10 and ×40 field in different brain regions).
