The frequency of CD4+ T cells producing msRNA soon after cART initiation correlate with post-ART pVL. (A) The frequency of CD4+ T cells producing msRNA at day 4 post-cART in the unstimulated condition (left; squares) and after PMA/ionomycin stimulation (right; triangles) are plotted against the AUC (upper row) or peak (lower row) pVL of the first 5 weeks post-cART interruption. (B) Peak (dark diamonds) and AUC pVL (open diamonds) for the first 5 weeks post-cART interruption are plotted against pVL at the time of the TILDA assay (4 days after cART initiation; left) or against pVL measured on the day of cART initiation. Correlations were calculated using the non-parametric Spearman test. All data were included. Spearman r and p values are shown (p < 0.05 was considered significant). The point in Red represents the sample with the lowest msRNA in both stimulated and unstimulated condition. This animal was the last one to rebound 3 weeks post-cART interruption.
