Quantitative real time RT-PCR validations of differentially expressed genes. The mRNA levels of selected genes were measured in HCV, HIV co-/mono-infected individuals (16 individuals in each group) by quantitative real time RT-PCR. And the relative mRNA value was calculated as described in methods. Box-plot illustrated the medians with 25% and 75%; error bars indicate 5% and 95% percentiles. 1–6 represent comparisons between HCV infection and HIV infection, HCV and HIV/HCV co-infection, HIV and HIV/HCV co-infection, HCV infection and uninfection, HIV infection and uninfection, and HIV/HCV co-infection and uninfection with p < 0.05, respectively.
