Effects of Korean Red Ginseng and HAART on vif Gene in 10 Long-Term Slow Progressors over 20 Years: High Frequency of Deletions and G-to-A Hypermutation

Figure 1

Changes in the CD4+ T-cell count, plasma viral load, and genetic defects in terms of Korean red ginseng (KRG) intake and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The durations of KRG intake and HAART are indicated by the bars. Solid and dotted lines denote good (>90%) and poor (<90%) compliance according to self-administered responses, respectively. The upward arrow , downward arrow , plus sign (+), and asterisk (*) denote the sequences of the vif gene, gross deletions, 3- and- 6-base pair (bp) in-frame insertions, and stop codons, respectively.
