FBCs from 7 HIV-negative MSW, 11 HIV-negative MSM, and 8 HIV-positive MSM used in this infection assay were also previously used to stimulate PBMC in vitro [8], and frequencies of HIV-infected cells induced by these FBCs significantly correlated with activation levels of peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells stimulated by these same FBCs found previously (S8B and S8C Fig). The gene discussed is CD8A; the disease is infection.
