Transformation of brain myeloid cell populations by SIV in rhesus macaques revealed by multiomics by Xiaoke Xu, Meng Niu, Benjamin G. Lamberty, Katy Emanuel, Moses Jedd Facun Apostol, Howard S. Fox

“…Given the gaps in our knowledge on how these cells respond in vivo to CNS infection, we perform single-cell multiomic sequencing, including gene expression and ATAC-seq, on myeloid cells from the brains of rhesus macaques with SIV-induced encephalitis (SIVE) as well as uninfected controls. We find that SIVE significantly changes the myeloid cell populations. …”
