M1-MDM stimulation with polarizing cytokines after infection further inhibits HIV-1 replication. (A) Experimental scheme. Seven days-old MDM were either left unstimulated (CTR) or were stimulated with IFN-γ plus TNF-α (M1-MDM) 18 h before HIV-1 infection (m.o.i = 0.1). A second stimulation of M1-MDM with the same polarizing cytokines was performed 7 days after infection (M12 MDM); as for the first stimulation, cytokine-enriched medium was removed 18 h later and replaced with complete medium. (B) M12 MDM show a superior capacity of curtailing HIV-1 replication than M1-MDM. Left panel: kinetics of supernatant-associated RT activity; right panel: Area under curve (AUC); statistical analysis by One-way ANOVA; **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001 (n = 8).
