Figure 1. Effect of E2 on HIV-infection of CD4+ T-cells.

Figure 1

A) Released p24 levels in the culture media after 7 days of infection when cells where pre-treated with E2 for 3 days (pre E2), treated with E2 before and after infection (prepost E2) or only after infection (post E2). Bars represent mean ± SEM from 7 independent experiments with different donors. *P<0.05. B) Intracellular p24 levels after 7 days of infection, representative of n = 7. C) Intracellular p24 levels after 7 days of infection in the presence of Zidovudine (AZT). D) Released p24 levels in the culture media (left panel) and intracellular p24 (right panel) after 7 days of infection when cells where pre-treated with E2 for 1 day (pre E2), treated with E2 before and after infection (prepost E2) or only after infection (post E2). Bars represent mean ± SEM from 6 independent experiments with different donors. *P<0.05. E) Released p24 in the culture media after 7 days of infection in CD4+ T-cells from women (black bars; N = 6) or men (grey bars; N = 5). *P<0.05.
