Increased number of primed activated CD8+CD38+CD45RO+T cells predict the decline of CD4+T cells in HIV-1-infected patients

Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To look for surrogate markers in HIV-1 infection that can predict the decline of CD4+ T cells. METHODS: Multiparameter flow cytometric analyses of CD8+ lymphocytes were performed. These cells were investigated for their expression of the activation marker CD38+ within the naive (CD45RA+) and primed (CD45RO+) subsets. Serial CD4 counts were plotted for each patient and the straight line that best fitted...
