Fig. 8: Viral RNA in lymph node and colorectal biopsies of long-term ART suppressed monkeys.
From: Persistence of viral RNA in lymph nodes in ART-suppressed SIV/SHIV-infected Rhesus Macaques
A Log SIV RNA copies/106 cells are shown from lymph node mononuclear cells (LNMCs) derived from lymph node tissue (black bars) and colorectal biopsies (red bars) from 20 rhesus monkeys chronically infected with SHIV-SF162P3 and ART-suppressed for 3 years. Each bar represents the SIV viral load of the monkey listed in the indicated tissue site as the log of SIV RNA copies/106 cells. B Viral RNA persistence in lymph nodes from monkeys under 3 years of ART suppression. Each dot is a monkey (n = 20). The median is displayed as a red line. p value is derived from a two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test. LNMC, lymph node mononuclear cells, CR Bx, colorectal biopsy.
