Persistent infections at day 270 in hamster liver and kidney by SV40 wild-type strains and microRNA mutants.

<p>SV40, simian virus 40; Und, undetectable.</p>a<p>Values represent the average of normalized viral DNA copies/10⁶ cells. The numbers of animals tested (6–9 each per virus and tissue) and those found to be virus-positive (0–8 each) are shown in <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1003912#ppat-1003912-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p>b<p>The following comparisons were statistically significant by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test at <i>p</i>≤0.05: SVCPC-SM2 vs. SVCPC-WT in both liver and kidney, SVCPC-SM2 vs. 776-SM1 in both liver and kidney, and 776-WT vs. 776-SM1 in liver.
