Time of ART initiation and cell associated HIV-1 RNA (caRNA) are associated with phenotypic signs of B cell hyperactivation. Gating strategy is shown in (A); in (B) showed levels of DN in adolescents with perinatally aquired HIV-1 (HIV) and healthy controls (HC); (C, D) correlations between ABCs cells and age at ART start are shown; (E) correlation plot between viral correlates of recent replication and ABCs / exhausted T-cells are shown; differential analysis between levels of ABCs cells and caRNA or SPIKE being detected vs non-detected is shown in (F, G). p values are calculated using Mann Whitney test in (B, F, G). Spearman p values are shown in (B–D). Significance was set at p>0.05. DN, double negative; AM, activated memory; SW, Switched B-cells (memory B-cells); UNSW, Unswitched B-cells; MFI, mean fluorescent intensity.
