Results shown in Figs. 2 & 3 were plotted against anti-CMV Ab titers by
separating the cohort (n=391) into upper and lower anti-CMV Ab titer
half (lower<349>upper); multiple regression model with age and CMV status
as covariates was used to calculate significance. CD8 EM numbers are shown for
anti-CMV titer hi, lo and CMV(−): A, for individuals 40y
and younger; B, individuals 50–64yrs of age; and
C, for individuals 65yrs of age and older. D.
Slope of absolute naïve CD8 cells count over age groups. E.
Slope of absolute EM T cell inflation over age groups. Data from CMV−,
CMVAblo and CMVAbhi subjects are shown in solid
line/squares, dashed line/triangels and dotted line/circles, respectively.
Significance ** p=0.01 to p=0.001,
***p>0.001 was determined by two-way ANOVA followed
by Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. NS= not
significant.
