Table 2. Comparison of the trend of increase or decrease of CD8⁺ IFN-γ⁺ response to autologous and clade-B consensus HIV-1 Nef peptides in the two subjects.

	High Viremic (#039)		Low Viremic (#016)
	Decreasing*	Increasing*	Decreasing*	Increasing*
No. of Consensus peptides	4	1	2	0
No. of Autologous peptides	2	4	0	9
