| DC Subsets | HIV− | HIV+ | p Valuesb |
|---|---|---|---|
| MDC | 0.27 (0.17–0.47)c | 0.27 (0.13–0.40)d | NS |
| PDC (CD123+) | 0.29 (0.13–0.42)c | 0.10 (0.05–0.18)d | <0.0001 |
| PDC (BDCA-2+) | 0.37 (0.15–0.50)e | 0.09 (0.05–0.14)f | <0.0001 |
a Values represent percentage of positive cells and are expressed as median (25th–75th percentile).
b Statistical significance between HIV− and HIV+.
c n = 53 donors tested.
d n = 65 donors tested.
e n = 21 donors tested.
f n = 33 donors tested.
