Absolute CD4+ T cell count in PBMC. Blood sampled at weeks 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 post-infection was evaluated for phenotypic expression of CD4+ T cells and calculated based on total WBC counts with differential cell count assessed from cytological evaluation. Mean and standard deviation for absolute CD4+ T cell counts are presented for high, middle and low dose groups (A), and based on presence or absence of viremia (B). Mean and standard errors for the CD4:CD8 ratio are shown for all dose groups combined (C). Statistics were calculated using ANOVA comparing baseline week with post-infection samples within each group. Significance shown using p-values, with * p < 0.01 and # p = 0.06.
