The mean apoptotic rates (± standard deviation) were calculated from the data of Figure 3A (CD4+) and 3B (CD8+), from the B-cell population (B) and from noninfected (NI) PBMCs. The data were statistically compared with the Wilcoxon 2-tailed signed rank test. Note that, in contrast to the results of Figure 2, the data presented here were obtained with cryopreserved cells.
