Transcriptional Activity of Human Endogenous Retroviruses in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Figure 3

Correlation of HERV-H, HERV-K, or HERV-W env levels with the age of the subjects. HERV-H, HERV-K, and HERV-W transcriptional levels are plotted as a function of corresponding age in years. The age median value of the age-group (18–39) was used as a cut-point (left panel: <30; right panel: ≥30). See Results section for correlation Spearman analysis details. env levels were analyzed by real-time PCR and represented by in logarithmic scale.
