Preferential persistence of SV40 in kidney compared to liver and spleen.

<p>SV40, simian virus 40.</p>a<p>Values represent the ratio of the average observed (nonadjusted) results from day 45 and day 3 for each virus in the indicated tissues. The numbers of tissues from different animals tested per virus at each time point (usually n = 4) are listed (<a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1003912#ppat-1003912-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>). Note the higher level of persistence of each virus in the kidney as compared to liver and spleen.
