Figure 4. mRNA expression of 84 genes that are part of the HIV-1 life cycle and known to directly obstacle HIV infectivity has been assessed by real-time quantitative RT-PCR, calculated relative to five housekeeping genes and shown as fold-change expression from the untreated sample.

Gene expression (nfold) is shown as a color scale from green to red (−2 to +9) (MEV multiple experiment viewer software). Results were obtained in HIV1-infected PBMCs at day 7 post infection, cultured in medium containing TIZ (10 μg/mL) or RM-4848 (10 μg/mL). Only targets showing >2-fold modulation are considered significant and are shown in tab.
