A viral load assay was performed on the CSF escape samples. Samples were then added to a column with anti-CD26 bead bound antibodies for immuno-capture of virus expressing CD26. Captured virus was then eluted and viral load assay performed. Red dotted line represents limit of assay detection. GM: geometric mean of n = 10 participants for each condition. Geometric mean was 5874 HIV RNA copies/mL for total virus, and 1591 copies/mL for virus with CD26 surface expression.
