CCR5 expression and HIV infection is lower in central memory CD4+ T-cells in paediatric non-progressors than in progressors. a Representative FACS data of CCR5 expression in paediatric progressors versus non-progressors. b CCR5 expression on CD4+ T-cell subsets in ART-naive children aged >5 years by absolute CD4 count, c Absolute C04 counts and viral loads in paediatric non-progressors and adult future progressors did not differ significantly (median 1251 vs. 1106 cells/mm^J; and 22,075 vs. 31,500 HIV RNS copies/ml plasma, respectively; similarly CD4% did not differ between the two groups, median 31 versus 36 %, not shown), d HIV infection in Tn, Tscm, Tern and Tem in paediatric non-progressors and adult future progressors, determined by qPCR of HIV DNA in sorted CD4 T-cell subsets
