Adult chimpanzees are older than 15 years. For the INNO-LIA test result, only reactivity equal to, or stronger than, control cut off band (+/-) is included in the table, others are marked as "-". PCR testing was performed using SIVwrc specific primers as well as SIV generic primers (DR1/DR2) except for: ¹⁾ Sample tested with SIVwrc PCR only, ²⁾ Heart tested with SIVwrc PCR, lung tested with SIVgeneric PCR, ³⁾ Sample became available late in the study, tested with SIVgeneric PCR only, ⁴⁾ Samples additionally tested by further PCRs as shown in Table 2.
