CD28 is down-regulated in CD8 T cells from patients with high viral load. (a) Representative dot plot to show the coexpression of CD28 and CD3ζ in CD8 T cells in a patient with high viral load. (b) Flow cytometric histogram to show the proportion of CD8 T cells that are CD28+ in a patient with high viral load (gray) and a healthy donor (dashed line). (c) Cumulative data for CD28 expression is shown against viral load, HBeAg status, and ALT level.
