Figure 5. Dependency of the Critical Drug Efficacy on the Concentration of T cells.
Tsat represents the concentration that T cells approach as the duration of ART increases. The solid line shows how the critical efficacy depends on Tsat. The dotted line indicates a typical drug efficacy estimated for standard combination ART (ɛ ≈ 0.7), and the dashdot line indicates the critical efficacy when Tsat = T 0 = 595 cells/μl, i.e., ɛc = 0.1402.
