Figure 2. Inhibition of HIV-1 production by T. cruzi in MDM.

Figure 2

MDM were infected with HIV in presence of T. cruzi blood trypomastigotes (A) or trypomastigotes free-supernatant (TcSn) (B) in three different schemes: HIV 24 h after T. cruzi (T. cruzi-HIV), HIV 24 h before T. cruzi (HIV-T. cruzi) or HIV at the same time as T. cruzi (HIV+T. cruzi), where T. cruzi indicates either trypomastigotes or TcSn. P24 antigen production was measured at days 4, 8 and 12 p.i. in culture supernatants. Results are expressed as mean ± SD of triplicates of infection and a representative experiment of at least 3 independent experiments performed with cells from different donors is shown.
