Figure 4.
Effects of antiretroviral therapy on IgG-ASC frequencies and viral load. Longitudinal IgG-ASC and viral load data for (a) four acutely and (b) six chronically infected individuals from cohort 1. Antiviral therapy was initiated on day 0. Baseline ASC data were not available from subjects no. 909 and no. 896, so the first data points are from wk 1 and 3 after therapy was initiated, respectively. The half-lives of IgG-ASCs are indicated on the figures for nine of the individuals. Note that, unlike in Fig. 3, the IgG-ASC frequencies are plotted on different scales for each individual, in order to depict the rates of change of ASC frequency with maximum clarity.
