We next measured the decline rate of CA SIV-DNA+ CD4+ T cells between various time points on ART in both blood (days 0 and 14; days 14 and 28; days 28 and 42) and LN (days 0 and 14; days 14 and 28; days 28 and 56) and found no differences between groups, except for the isolated finding of a faster decline between days 0 and 14 in the LN of the pre-infection depletion group as compared with controls (Fig. 2c,d). The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is infection.
