Plasma viral loads in ΔCCR5 animals are comparable to controls.

<p><b>(A)</b> SHIV plasma viral loads from Group A animals transplanted prior to infection. <b>(B)</b> SHIV plasma viral loads from Group B animals that were transplanted following infection and stable suppression and subsequently released from cART. Black circles indicate cART initiation. <b>(C)</b> Measurements from Group B in panel B (“ΔCCR5 Transplant”) were used to calculate the ratio of rebound viremia to viremia during primary infection, and compared to Group C (“No Transplant”) and Group F (“wtCCR5 Transplant”). <b>(D)</b> Log change in average set point viral load between rebound and primary infection. <b>(E)</b> Days to rebound following cART withdrawal. Colored data points in panels <b>(C-D)</b> correspond to lines in <b>(B)</b>. Dotted lines in panels <b>(A-B)</b> indicate limit of detection of the plasma viral load assay (30 copies/mL).
