Figure 2. Association between KIR3DS1 and KIR3DL1 effective counts and viral load at set point.

Figure 2

(A–B) The effective counts of KIR3DS1 and KIR3DL1-surface associate with viral load (VL) at set point. (C–D) The insets show the association between the raw KIR3DS1 or KIR3DL1-surface count, for the subset of patients from graphs A and B where the effective counts equal zero. An effective count of zero can be due to the absence of the KIR receptor or due to the absence of the HLA-Bw4 ligand. The raw count does not associate with viral load at set point when the effective count for KIR3DS1 or KIR3DL1-surface equals zero. Error bars show one standard deviation.
