Distribution of the relative SIV provirus copy number in single spleen cells of SIVmac251-infected rhesus macaques. The SIV copy number was determined with SIV-specific fluorescence in situ hybridization. Results from 4 monkeys are shown. Exact numbers are indicated in Table 1. Pictures from individual nuclei with different SIV copy numbers are given as examples. Green spots correspond to proviral SIV-genomes detected with a biotin-labelled SIVmac239Δenv-probe and a biotin-tyramid signal amplification system. W.p.i. = weeks post infection.
