Alcohol-use disorder Among PLWH is associated with an increased level of soluble CD40L, TGF-β1 and TGF-β2. Plasma levels of soluble CD40L (A), and TGF-β1 (B) and TGF-β2 (C) were quantified by standard ELISA and cytokine U-PLEX assay, respectively, among CTN-055 participants at W0 (n = 23) and W4 (n = 23), and PLWH ref. population (n = 22) at study enrollment. Shown are means with SD (A) or medians with IQR (B, C). When soluble CD40L, TGF-β1, and TGF-β2 were examined simultaneously, distinct clustering of study participants based on exposure to AUD and HCV was noted (D).
