HERVs and cytokines expression in PBMCs from ASD children, their parents and control individuals treated with Efavirenz. HERV transcriptional activity (A) and cytokines expression levels (B) were analysed in PBMCs treated with Efavirenz (EFV) at a final concentration of 2.5 µM (2.5) and 1 µM (1) by RT-Real time PCR. The results are represented as box plots, depicting mild (black dot), and extreme outliers (asterisk) for each group. Red bordered white boxes = control individuals; Red bordered grey boxes = ASD children and their parents
