Figure 6. Overview of ARF responses in acutely infected patients.

Out of 22 ARF peptide pools tested, 18 induced detectable responses. Each individual graph depicts the intensity of responses measure in an ELISPOT assay against IFN-γ (SFU/million PBMC) for each peptide in the corresponding patient. Grey bars correspond to patients Before HAART and black bars to patients On HAART. Responders were only considered if the net response against the peptide pool was >50 SFU (cut-off) over background and greater than twice the background.
