Complement Lysis Activity in Autologous Plasma Is Associated with Lower Viral Loads during the Acute Phase of HIV-1 Infection
Figure 3
Lysis Activity against Virus in Plasma of Acutely and Chronically Infected Patients
Complement-mediated lysis activity against autologous (A) and heterologous (JR-FL) (B) virus was compared between acutely (blue triangles) and chronically (green circles) infected individuals. HIV-specific lysis activity is present at acute and chronic diseases stages but generally higher during chronic infection. Crosses denote uninfected plasma controls. Groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test.
