CD38⁺ Tcm cells make a larger contribution to the HIV reservoir than CD38⁻ Tcm cells. a Purity of CD38⁻ Tcm (left) and CD38⁺ Tcm (right) cells, sorted from PBMC obtained from HIV-infected individuals receiving ART for > 5 years. Numbers show percentages of CD38⁻ Tcm and CD38⁺ Tcm cells. b Quantification of the percentages of CD38⁺ and CD38⁻ Tcm subsets. Paired t-test; n = 12 donors. c Quantification of the total HIV DNA in CD38⁺ Tcm and CD38⁻Tcm cells. Paired t-test; n = 12 donors
