Figure 1. Survival and viral load data.

Figure 1

(A) Survival days post-inoculation (dpi) for rhesus macaques inoculated with SIVΔvpx compared to animals inoculated with SIVmac239 (SIV239E with encephalitis or SIV239noE without encephalitis) or other mutant viruses (SIVΔnef or SIVΔ3. SIVΔvpx-infected macaques survived significantly longer with a slower disease progression compared to SIV239E or SIV239noE animals, but did not differ in survival length compared to SIVΔnef or SIVΔ3. (B) Plasma viral RNA from SIVΔvpx-infected rhesus macaques expressed as RNA copy equivalents per ml plasma from chronic disease or near-terminal collections (range 329–1140 dpi, median 730 dpi).
