Fig. 2.
HIV-specific cTfh express multiple IRs despite viral suppression. cTfh specific for HIV, CMV and HBV were analyzed by flow cytometry for expression of the co-inhibitory receptors TIGIT, PD-1 and CD200. (a) Example plots showing expression of TIGIT, PD-1 or CD200 on unstimulated (black) or HIV-specific cTfh (red) from one representative donor. FMO controls are shown as dotted lines. (b) Frequency of TIGIT-, PD-1- or CD200-expressing Ag-specific cTfh. (c) Analysis of co-expression of TIGIT, PD-1 and CD200 on Ag-specific cTfh. (d) Comparison of frequency of TIGIT+CD200+PD-1+ Ag-specific cTfh. n = 27 (HIV), n = 23 (CMV) or n = 6 (HBV) for (b-d). Significant p-values are shown in figure and were calculated by Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn's post test (b,d) or permutation test (c).
