0.5 Plasma viraemia exponential slope of "CD4 lymphocyte turnover" (0.004-0.088) shown in
Table 1 of ref. 1 is inconsistent with replacement of CD4 T cells solely by rapid cell division, as
the exponential slope should be relatively constant (reflecting mainly the relatively minor
variations in cell-cycle time). Examination of lymph nodes from both HIV-infected progressors4 …
