Quantification of total HIV DNA levels.

<p><b>A)</b> Total <i>pol</i> HIV copies were quantified by ddPCR within Vδ2 cells (n = 12), total resting CD4⁺ T cells (r-CD4) (n = 8) and unfractionated PBMC (n = 12) from HIV-1 suppressed patients treated in the acute HIV infection (AHI) or in the chronic HIV infection (CHI). Limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 50.6 copies/ 10⁶ Vδ2 cells and 5.1 copies/ 10⁶ r-CD4 cells and PBMC, and is depicted with a dotted line. Each color represents one patient. <b>B)</b> Pie charts reflecting the contribution of Vδ2 cells (purple) and r-CD4 cells (red) to the total HIV DNA⁺ PBMC in CHI patients (left pie) and AHI patients (right pie).
