From: Assessment of FIV-C infection of cats as a function of treatment with the protease inhibitor, TL-3
Plasma viral loads of FIV infected cats as a function of TL-3 treatment and disease. (A), normalized viral load (copies/ml × 106) at week 2; (B), and at peak viremia between weeks 0 – 6.5 in FIV infected cats treated with TL-3 (+TL-3, solid symbols) or untreated (-TL-3, open symbols). (C), peak viremia between weeks 0 to 6.5 post infection, in healthy (asymptomatic) and symptomatic (euthanized) cats. The average value (largest horizontal bar, –) is plotted for each group. Equal volumes of plasma were normalized using an external RNA spike and analyzed as detailed in Materials and Methods for the presence of FIV RNA by reverse-transcription real-time quantitative PCR. * indicate average values in (C) differ significantly (p ≤ 0.05).
