Comparison of mean CSF FIV RNA and CNS FIV DNA following i.c.v. versus i.p. inoculation.

i.c.v. route i.p. route
Peak CSF viremia 259,040 ± 124,195a 7985 ± 5141a
Mean CSF: plasma ratiob 1.34 ± 0.69 0.16 ± 0.16
Mean CNS proviral burden 83.6 ± 39.8c 3.6 ± 8.7c
a

the viral load is presented as FIV RNA copies/ml CSF.

b

calculated for paired samples at the CSF peak viremia showing the highest ratio.

c

the proviral burden is presented as FIV DNA copies/μg genomic DNA.
