HIV Infectivity of Target MT-2 cells in the Presence of Plasma from SCD Patients or Plasma from Non-SCD Controls.

Abstract

MT-2 cells maintained at log phase growth were infected with either HIV NL4-3 (Panel A) or 81-A virus (Panel B) at MOI of 10−2 in cultures spiked with 20% plasma from SCD patients or non-SCD controls. Following 7-day infections supernatants were measured for p24 by ELISA. Mean and SEM are shown. * p<0.05.</p
