Fig 2. Relative expression of the inflammasomes components in PBMCs.

Fig 2

The RNA levels of IL-1β (A), IL-18 (B), caspase- 1 (C), ASC (D), NLRP3 (E), NLRC4 (F), NLRP1 (G), and AIM2 (H) were quantified in PBMCs from HIV-1-controllers and HIV-1-progressors, by qPCR. The ubiquitin gene was used as constitutive gene to normalize the RNA content. Relative expression is referred to ubiquitin expression. The results are presented as medians and interquartile ranges. Statistical comparison was performed using a Mann-Whitney U test with a 95% confidence level. Significant differences are indicated at the top of the figure (* p <0.05) (**p<0.01) (***p<0,001).
