Effect of early ART initiation on CD8+CD28-PD-1+ and CD8+CD28-CD39+ T-cells. Gating strategies used in flow cytometry to define CD8+CD28-PD-1+ and CD8+CD28-CD39+ (A). Frequencies of CD8+CD28-PD-1+ (B) and CD8+CD28-CD39+ (C) within CD8 T-cells. Statistical significance is indicated in the figures as follow: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001. Differences among five study groups was determined by nonparametric Mann-Whitney rank test for unpaired variables, while the Wilcoxon rank tests were used for paired variables in the longitudinal study. Sample size in cross-sectional analysis: non-infected n=20, Acute n=26, Chronic ART- n=10, Chronic ART+ n=11, EC n=18. Sample size in longitudinal analysis: non-infected n=20, ART- n=10, ART+ n=10.
