Figure 6. Restricted gene flow between the blood and semen is temporally associated with compartmentalization.
SM migration events were plotted directly onto NJ trees for the 4 monkeys characterized 16 weeks after SIV challenge. Unrestricted viral gene flow between the blood and semen in monkeys C171 (A) and DA2D (B), and restricted gene flow in compartmentalized monkeys AY89 (C) and AX93 (D).
