Association of epitope-specific T-cell responses with clinical parameters in HIV-1-infected individuals with the restricting HLA. a T-cell responses to 6 epitope peptides were analyzed by using an IFN-γ ELISPOT assay. The differences in pVL or CD4 count between responders and non-responders to each epitope peptide in the individuals having HLA restriction molecules for the epitopes were statistically analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney test. b Correlation between a breadth of T-cell responses to 5 epitopes (AA9, TL8, WV8, RI8, and HR10) and pVL and CD4 count in 149 individuals carrying the HLA restriction molecules. The correlation was statistically analyzed using Spearman rank test
