FIG 1.

HIV DNA in PBMC from patients with different disease courses. Comparisons of total (A), integrated (B), unintegrated (C), and 2-LTR (D) HIV DNAs (copies/10⁵ CD4⁺ cells) in HIC (EC and LTNP) (white boxes) and PP (gray boxes) are shown. For box plot analysis, bars represent ranges, lines represent median values, and the box tops and bottoms represent the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively (P < 0.001 or P < 0.0001 by the Mann-Whitney U test). HIC, HIV controllers (n = 20); PP, progressor patients (previously progressing patients who are successfully treated and have persistently undetectable HIV RNA [<50 copies/ml]) (n = 10).
