barcoded viruses

Caption

Using barcoded viruses, the researchers were able to identify which tissues SIV, the nonhuman primate equivalent of HIV, had replicated the fastest and spread the furthest, showing up in trace amounts in blood (center), just seven days after stopping antiretroviral treatment. The largest contributors were mesenteric lymph nodes (MesLN), inguinal lymph nodes (IngLN) and Spleen. Colors correspond to different animals.
