Figure 2. CD163+/CD16+ monocyte expansion correlates positively with viral load and inversely with CD4+ T cell number in HIV-1 infected individuals.

Figure 2

Pearson correlation statistics demonstrate a significant correlation between expansion of the CD163+/CD16+ monocyte subset with increasing viral burden (Panel A). Further, in HIV-1 infected individuals with CD4+ T cell counts below 450 cells/μl (12 of 19 subjects), an inverse correlation was seen between absolute number of CD4+ T cells and CD16+ or CD163+/CD16+ monocyte frequency, with greater significance seen with CD163+/CD16+ monocyte (r2 = 74%) (Panels B and C) than CD16+ monocyte frequency (r2 = 50%) (Panel C). Data analyses were performed using the original viral load values. Viral loads were log transformed after analyses for data presentation.
