Ifferentiation, we further assessed the changes in Treg subsets and phenotypes following in-vitro sCD40L stimulation. Interestingly, sCD40L favoured Treg differentiation by reducing central memory Tregs (44?1 ?18?5 versus 51?3 ?17?4 , Wilcoxon's matched-pairs P = 0?19; Fig. 3c) and increasing terminal effector Tregs (6 ?3? versus 1? ?1?3 ,(d)4000 P = 003 R =sCD40L (pg/ml)10002000 sCD14 (ng/ml)Fig.

Cell counts (Fig. 1a) and CD4 : CD8 T cell ratio (Fig. 1a), but not correlated with viral load (Fig. 1c). Positive correlation was observed between sCD40L plasma levels and T cell immune activation defined by co-expression of CD38/HLA-DR on CD4 and CD8 T cells (Fig. 1d,e), as well as IDO-mRNA expression in ARTnaive patients ([7] and Fig. 1f). However, no correlation was observed between sCD40L and

Positive correlation was observed between sCD40L plasma levels and T cell immune activation defined by co-expression of CD38/HLA-DR on CD4 and CD8 T cells (Fig. 1d,e), as well as IDO-mRNA expression in ARTnaive patients ([7] and Fig. 1f). However, no correlation was observed between sCD40L and
