Table 2.

Shows the rate of expression of CD markers and the housekeeping genes.

Gene	Mean Ct of C Sample	Mean Ct of IA Sample	Mean Ct of IP Sample	ΔCt of IA Sample	ΔCt of IP Sample	ΔΔCt of IA Sample	ΔΔCt of IP Sample
CD4	34.41	33.31	34.49	1.1	0.08	2.14	0.94
CD8	33.93	32.79	32.31	1.14	1.62	2.20	3.07
