Genes induced during the early phase of self-limited and persistent infections.

a<p>Expression levels of genes induced above the confidence interval at weeks 4 & 6 but below the confidence interval at weeks 13 & 40 in X0190.</p><p>The bold and italicized values represent data above the 99% confidence interval as described in the text.</p

Real-time PCR quantification of candidate genes involved in viral clearance and persistence.

<p>TaqMan real-time PCR was performed as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0003442#s4" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>. The y-axis shows the relative unit of a given gene normalized to GAPDH and 18s rRNA. Data are expressed as means±SEM. In all cases, average values obtained during the first eight weeks of infection were compared between recovered (X0190) and chronically infected chimpanzees (X 0234, X0142 and X6412). * <i>P<0.05</i>, ** <i>P<0.01</i>, *** <i>P<0.01</i>, **** <i>P<0.005</i>.</p
