FIG. 3.
Effect of explant method type on virus yield. Virus growth (p24) was compared across explant methods by Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA (P < 0.0001). The p24 level at the assay SOFT is presented for HIV-1Ba-L grown in cervical (14 donors), stimulated cervical (6 donors), cervical tissue-PBMC coculture (2 donors), tonsil (4 donors), and rectal (4 donors) explant experiments, sourced from IHB, IHM, VQAB, and VQAM conditions. The median and interquartile range are indicated for each method. The table shows the probability values for significantly different pairwise comparisons (Dunn's multiple comparison test). n.s., not significant.
