Plasma viral loads after SIVmac239 infection. (a) Viral loads (SIV gag RNA copies/ml plasma) determined as described previously30. The lower limit of detection is approximately 4 × 102 copies/ml. Six Group N (left panel) and six Group V (right panel) macaques received ART from week 12 to 32 after SIVmac239 infection. Group V macaques received therapeutic SeV-Gag/Vif vaccination at weeks 26 and 32 post-infection. (b) Comparison of viral loads at weeks 12, 34 and 36 post-infection between Groups N and V. No significant difference was observed.
