CD8A and infection: More precisely, lower and higher baseline proportions of HIV-specific TEM and TTE CD8+ T-cells, respectively, correlated with higher ex vivo CD8+ T-cell antiviral activity (VIA), both at baseline (p = 0.0096 and p = 0.0008, respectively) and at 12 months post-infection (p = 0.0052 and p<0.0001, respectively).
