The data of GD-Tx group and GD-Ct group were compared between the start and end of treatment (24 weeks). In the GD-Tx groups, there were a significant decrease of CD4+, an increase of CD8+, and a decreased CD4/CD8 ratio compared to the baseline. None of the parameters changed significantly in GD-Ct group.
