BrdU+ monocytes and macrophages in a simian immunodeficiency virus encephalitis (SIVE) lesion.

This confocal micrograph shows cells triple-labeled with antibodies against BrdU (red), SIVp28 (green), and CD68 (blue). BrdU+ cells (red) that were not infected were identified in a lesion of an animal with SIVE. Numerous CD68+ and SIVp28+ cells are seen in this lesion; few of the mature CD68+ macrophages are BrdU+. The majority of BrdU+ cells are nonproductively infected (see Burdo et al., doi:10.1371/journal.ppat.1000842).
