From: HIV patients treated with low-dose prednisolone exhibit lower immune activation than untreated patients

Figure 1

Prednisolone medication in untreated HIV infection is associated with lower CD8+ T cell activation. Whole blood from donors of different treatment groups was stained with fluorescent dye-coupled anti-CD3, anti-CD8 and anti-CD38 antibodies. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry after erythrocyte lysis. Lymphocytes were gated in a FSC/SSC scatter. CD3+/CD8+ cells from the lymphocyte gate were scored as CD8+ T cells, CD3+/CD8- cells were scored as CD4+ T cells. Horizontal bars represents medians. Statistical analysis was performed using a Mann-Whitney U test. A: Percentage of CD8+ T cells expressing CD38. B: Percentage of CD4+ T cells expressing CD38
