Comparison of the proportion of tetramer⁺CD8 T cells of different phenotypes recognizing different viruses in the same HIV-infected donor.

Subject 606 had CDC stage A2 disease; subjects 307, 203, and 136, stage B2 disease; and subject 225, stage B3 disease. There were no obvious differences in trafficking phenotype according to disease stage. CD45RA was not expressed on HIV-specific tetramer⁺ cells, but otherwise the expression patterns for cells recognizing different viruses were similar in the same donor.
