Figure 2. Establishment of the UVLA and analysis of plasma virus loads in macaques at necropsy.

Figure 2

(A) Comparison of RT-SHIV RNA loads determined using the standard virus load assay (SVLA) or the ultracentrifugation virus load assay (UVLA) from macaque 35940, a macaque that was taken off HAART to allow for viral rebound. Triplicate assays with triplicate TaqMan RT-PCR for UVLA, single TaqMan RT-PCR for the SVLA. Mean with 95% confidence intervals and the results of an unpaired t test. (B) Plasma RT-SHIV RNA analysis at necropsy of 5 HAART-treated macaques. Assays were done in duplicate with triplicate TaqMan RT-PCR except macaque 35342 which was sampled in triplicate with triplicate TaqMan RT-PCR. Mean with 95% confidence intervals. (C) FeLV RNA analysis of the samples displayed in Figure 2B. Cycle threshold (Ct) obtained from TaqMan RT-PCR for FeLV analyzed in duplicate. Mean with SD.
