Plasma galectin-9 correlates with MTO during the acute and late phases of SIV infection. Correlation of galectin-9 with MTO during early (a) and late (b) phase of SIV infection. Time points were classified based on the time post-infection and cause of euthanasia (medical cull or end of study). Uninfected values were from animals ranging from 54 to 40 days before infection. Acute phases are from samples at 9 days post-infection (DPI), except for EN33 and HE94, which were at 13 DPI. Late acute represents the first time point after the acute phase (ranging from 49 to 62 days post-infection). Chronic phase time points were higher than 50 DPI and at least 100 days prior to a medical cull. The end-stage marks the time points less than 100 days prior to a medical cull. Data points between 50 and 63 DPI are present in both Panels a and b as late acute and chronic stage, respectively
