Figure 1. Fetal CBMCs infected by IUT harbor transcriptionally active integrated HIV provirus.

Figure 1

RNA was extracted from fetal CBMCs, positive for integrated provirus and collected from HIV-infected mothers at term. Relative levels of HIV full-length (FL) and multiply spliced (MS) transcripts were determined by real-time PCR. All CBMC samples exhibited detectable levels of both MS and FL HIV mRNA, indicating that infected CBMCs harbored transcriptionally active HIV.
