Figure 1. Comparison of the efficiencies of HIV-1 isolation methods from PBMCs or plasma samples.

Figure 1

To determine the efficiency of HIV-1 isolation from PBMCs and plasma, we compared virus recovery from 56 plasma samples and 38 PBMCs samples with viral load ranging from 10 to >106 copies/ml. (A) Efficiency of HIV-1 recovery from PBMCs in percentages per viral load range. (B) Efficiency of HIV-1 recovery from plasma samples in percentages per viral load range. Bars represent mean values. Numbers next to the bars indicate (number of positive samples/total number of samples tested).
