Frequencies of immune cell subsets in CD4 depleted and vaccinated rhesus macaques. (A) Immunization schedule: 27 adults rhesus macaques were assigned to this study and divided into two groups of nine for immunizations and the third group with nine macaques without immunization. All 18 rhesus macaques received VC10014 DNA plasmids and were then boosted i.m with co-immunization of VC10014 DNA plasmids and proteins in adjuplex. Nine rhesus macaques received CD4R1 during the priming phase. Flow cytometric analysis of longitudinal distribution of CD4+ (B) and CD8+ (C) T cells and total CD19+CD20+ B cells (D). Red=CD4 depleted (CD4d) group, turquoise =Immunized (Imm) group, black=Non-Immunized (NI) group. Thin lines represent individual animals, thick lines indicated group mean. Significance determined by the unpaired t-test comparing Imm and CD4d groups and are indicated as follows:
p ≤ 0.001, *p ≤ 0.005,
p ≤ 0.01,
p ≤ 0.05.
