NOTE. Data show Spearman correlations (ρ and P values) between the levels of constitutive and cytokine-induced pSTAT5 and the viral load and CD4+ T cell counts. These analyses include all subjects, regardless of the treatment status. %CD3+pSTAT5+, percentage of CD3⁺ cells that express pSTAT5; ρ, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.

The number of subjects from whom the data were derived is shown in parentheses.

Mean CD4⁺ T cell counts and viral load measurements in the 1 year before the date of assessment of the parameters listed in this table.
