Effect of the Latent Reservoir on the Evolution of HIV at the Within- and Between-Host Levels
Fig 2
Estimated relative reservoir size rL during chronic infection.
Estimates were made using either a direct method based on the number of active and latent infected CD4+ T cells (data from Chun et al. [1]), or an indirect method using HIV DNA levels pre and post-treatment (data from [22–26]). For the left four studies, triangles represent single patients and the bar indicates the median. Two studies did not report data on individual patients, but on patient groups only. In these cases, the group mean [23] or median [24] was used to estimate rL for each group.
