Response of HIV-1–infected thymectomized patients nos. 9 and 10 to HAART. (a) Patient no. 9 had rises in both naive-phenotype (CD4⁺, CD45RA⁺, CD62L⁺) and memory-phenotype (CD4⁺, CD45RO⁺) T cells after HAART. (b) Naive and memory CD4⁺ T-cell subsets in patient no. 10, 16 months after initiation of HAART. Both naive- and memory-phenotype PB T cells are present. Total lymphocyte counts and phenotypic analyses of PB T cells were performed on the same blood specimens for all patients except for the pretreatment and week 3 absolute lymphocyte counts on patient no. 9, which were obtained 24 and 48 h, respectively, after the PB phenotype. HAART, highly active combination antiretroviral therapy; PB, peripheral blood.
