Upregulation of CD36 expression by rhesus monkey liver and adipose tissue SVF cells. Single cells were prepared from PBMC, spleen, lymph nodes, liver, and subcutaneous and visceral AT-SVF cells of uninfected and SIV- or SHIV-infected monkeys. CD36 expression was then examined on CD3-CD8-CD4-, CD3+CD8+, and CD3+CD4+ lymphocytes by flow cytometry. Shown in A are sample CD8/CD36 and CD4/CD36 flow cytometry dotplots (gated on live CD41- lymphocytes) of an SHIV-infected monkey, and B shows mean±sem CD36 expression (*p < 0.05 compared to PBMC, spleen, or lymph nodes; lymph nodes were not examined for infected monkeys).
