Fig. 5From: CD8+ T cells specific for conserved, cross-reactive Gag epitopes with strong ability to suppress HIV-1 replicationAssociation of epitope-specific T-cell responses with clinical parameters in HIV-1-infected individuals with the restricting HLA. a T-cell responses to 6 epitope peptides were analyzed by using an IFN-γ ELISPOT assay. The differences in pVL or CD4 count between responders and non-responders to each epitope peptide in the individuals having HLA restriction molecules for the epitopes were statistically analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney test. b Correlation between a breadth of T-cell responses to 5 epitopes (AA9, TL8, WV8, RI8, and HR10) and pVL and CD4 count in 149 individuals carrying the HLA restriction molecules. The correlation was statistically analyzed using Spearman rank testBack to article page
