Correlated recovery of thymic size, TREC-bearing and naive CD4⁺ T cells. (A) Spearman nonparametric correlation between the highest TI attained within the first 2 years and the number of TRECs per 10⁵ CD4⁺ T cells at 2 years. (B) Spearman nonparametric correlation between the highest TI attained within the first 2 years and the number of naive (CD45RA⁺CD62L⁺) CD4⁺ T cells per μl at 2 years. (C) Spearman nonparametric correlation between the frequency of TREC per 10⁵ CD4⁺ T cells and the number of CD45RA⁺CD62L⁺ CD4⁺ T cells per microliter of peripheral blood.
