From: Co-infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1): does immune activation lead to a faster progression to AIDS?

Figure 4

Changes in the subsets of T cells in the distinct HIV clinical stages. CD8+CD45RO+ (D) remained unchanged in the various HIV clinical stages in both groups. CD38+ on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells (E and F), CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD45RO+ subsets were increased from clinical stage I through III in both groups. CD4+CD45RA+ (A), CD8+CD45RA+ (B) and CD4+CD62L+ (H) decreased from stage I through III. Co-infected patients in the clinical stage III for CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD45RO+ and CD4+CD45RA+ did not follow the pattern observed in HIV mono-infected individuals. I = HIV Clinical Stage I, II = HIV Clinical Stage I, III = HIV Clinical Stage III.
