Complete blood counts (CBC) were performed throughout the course of the infection with SHIVnef-infected macaques. White blood cells and lymphocyte data were analyzed by nonparametric Mann–Whitney U tests; Student's t tests were used to analyze the other parameters. p-Values are shown for each parameter analyzed.
