Emergence of Exhausted B Cells in Asymptomatic HIV-1-Infected Patients Naïve for HAART is Related to Reduced Immune Surveillance

<table>Effect of HAART in B cell subsets distribution in HIV-1-infected patients. Comparative analysis of CD21 and CD27 expression on B cells from HIV-1-uninfected individuals, asymptomatic HIV-1-infected patients, and HAART-treated patients. Profiles of expression of CD21 and CD27 are shown for one representative of each groups (lower panel). Cells were gated according to the lymphocytes forward and side scatter pattern and the CD19<sup>+</sup> cells (upper panel).</table>
