Figure 2From: The effects of opioids on HIV reactivation in latently-infected T-lymphoblastsAntioxidants inhibit opioid-mediated reactivation of HIV. Latently-HIV-infected ACH-2 T lymphoblasts were cultured for 24 hours with of heroin (A, C) or morphine (B, D) in the presence or absence of the antioxidants N-acetylcystein (NAC) (A, B) or glutathione (C, D).
