Dynamic range of the SIV DNA ddPCR assay on DNA derived from a tissue sample. DNA (in quantities from 0.11 million cell equivalent to 4 million cell equivalent genomic DNA) extracted from the ovary tissue of an SIV-infected, cART suppressed Rhesus macaque, was analyzed for SIV DNA with the SIV ddPCR assay on the Raindance platform. The DNA input upper limit tested in each reaction was 4 million cell equivalent genomic DNA, as DNA input higher than this amount was shown to cause reaction inhibition [20]. The numeric values for measured DNA viral loads were: 0.11 million cell equivalent input, n = 3, 4 ± 1; 0.33 million cell equivalent input, n = 3, 19 ± 2; 1 million cell equivalent input, n = 3, 62 ± 5; 2 million cell equivalent input, n = 2, 118 (range 110–125); 2.5 million cell equivalent input, n = 2, 160 (range 151–168); 3 million cell equivalent input, n = 2, 188 (range 177–198); 4 million cell equivalent input, n = 2, 256 (range 251–261). Note that for 2 to 4 million cell equivalent DNA input, each input was tested in duplicate due to total sample quantity limitation.
