Results of PCR and ELISA assays over the entire study period. Summary of real time quantitative and nested PCR (qPCR and nPCR, respectively) on PBMCs and ELISAs for FFV Gag and Bet and FIV Vif performed before and following inoculation as given in the panels. The same symbols were used for cats 1–4 in WT and CH groups. Only the cats for which symbols are present (see inserted legend) were tested at the corresponding time point. Gray boxes represent time points where animals were not tested. CH-group cats were re-inoculated on day 53 (not shown) as described in “Methods”. a WT group results (days -21 to 168 p.i.). b CH group results (days -21 to 42 p.i.). c CH×WT group results (days 63 to 168 p.i.). d CH×CH group results (days 63 to 168 p.i.)
