Plasma virus concentrations and CD8+ T cell and NK cell counts after in vivo depletion of CD8+ cells. (a) Plasma virus concentrations of the four SIVmac239Δnef-vaccinated macaques were transiently depleted of their peripheral CD8+ cells. (b and c) The number of CD8+ T cells (CD3+/CD8+ lymphocytes; b) and the number of NK cells (CD3−/CD8+/CD16+; c) in the PBMC after in vivo CD8 depletion.
