Plasma sCD40L is associated with CD4 T cell counts and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)-1 mRNA expression but not HIV viral load in anti-retroviral therapy (ART)-naive patients. Association of plasma sCD40L levels are shown with (a) CD4 T cell count, (b) CD4:CD8 T cell ratio (c) HIV viral load (VL), (d) CD4 and (e) CD8 T cell activation as well as (f) IDO-1 mRNA expression. (g) Increased CD40L expression by CD4 T cells in ART-naive patients. Significant values determined by either Spearman's correlation or Mann–Whitney U-tests; **P < 0·01.
