Figure 2.
Effects of Pericytes on LPS-induced alterations in I-HIV permeability (Pe) and transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER). Upper panel: LPS increased I-HIV transport across the monolayers in comparison to respective controls (*p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001). Pericytes enhanced the effect of any given dose of LPS on HIV-1 transport (#p<0.05; ##p<0.001). Lower panel: LPS decreased TEER (***p<0.001) with pericytes producing no modification of that effect.
