  1. Relative SIV copy number distribution including the number of infected cells counted and some characteristics of the SIV infection are given for all monkeys studied. The determined copy numbers are the result of 2 to 4 independent FISH experiments. The standard deviation of individual copy number counts was less than 10%. Around 200 to 300 non-infected control cells were inspected in each FISH experiment. I = Rhesus macaques of Indian origin; C = Rhesus macaques of Chinese origin; A = AIDS state.
