Rhesus macaque SIV LCV Co infection Study

Question Addressed: Does gene expression change in the buccal mucosa of Lymphocryptovirus (LCV) infected animals when they are chronically infected with Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)? Oropharyngeal mucosal tissue samples were collected from rhesus macaques. A pooled common reference was used for all hybridizations. This reference was composed of RNA harvested from rhesus macaques not infected with either LCV or SIV. Infection: Animals were infected with SIV and/or LCV stimulated_design_type
