FIG. 3.
Higher acute SIV viremia is associated with higher preinfection Th17/Treg ratios. Correlations between plasma viral load measured before initiation of cART at 6 wpi during acute SIV infection and preinfection Th17/Treg ratios (left panel) and Th17 (center panel) or Treg (right panel) frequencies in the colon. Spearman's rank correlation coefficients are shown, p ≤ 0.05 is considered significant.
