Generation of CD4+ T cells in FTOCs.
The absolute numbers of immature (CD4+ single-positive) and mature (CD3+CD4+) CD4+ cells generated per fetal thymus lobe in infants of HIV-infected mothers (white bars) and control infants of HIV-negative mothers (hatched bars) are shown. In each case, 1 × 106 total viable CBMCs were placed on each lobe. Data are given as means ± SEM.
