Non-linear relationship between %CV and mean cytokine concentration. %CVs concentration (mean CVs for four different donors and four conditions [NS, PPD, SEB and ESAT-6 stimulations] calculated using culture triplicates for each of the 11 cytokines analyzed) plotted against corresponding mean concentrations for Ozyme, Millipore and Bio-Rad kits.

HIV-specific responses are significantly upregulated after the vaccination with LIPO-5-DC vaccine.
<p>Each patient is designated with its individual color/symbol code (refer to <a href="http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.ppat.1004752#ppat.1004752.s008" target="_blank">S1 Table</a>). Symbols are attributed based on maximum viral load rebound after treatment interruption as indicated in the figure. (A) Representative plots for a single patient prior (wk -4) and after (wk 16) the vaccination. Cells were stimulated with gag p24 pool, LIPO-5 vaccine or CMV lysate as a control, stained and analyzed by flow cytometry 44 hours later. Plots show viable CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells. (B) Graphs show the percentages of antigen-specific cells (CD134<sup>+</sup>CD25<sup>+</sup>) among CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells after the stimulation with the indicated antigens (n = 14). (C) IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-2 production among LIPO-5- specific cells (CD134<sup>+</sup>CD25<sup>+</sup>) (n = 14). (D) Graph shows the correlation between the relative increase in LIPO-5-specific response (response after the vaccination-response before vaccination) and maximal viral load rebound after HAART interruption (n = 14). Data were analyzed by Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. Spearman coefficient is indicated (r) as well as p value.</p

Tregs can suppress HIV-specific responses in vitro.
<p>(A) Percentages of gag p24-specific Tregs (CD134<sup>+</sup>CD25<sup>+</sup>CD39<sup>+</sup>FoxP3<sup>+</sup>) or IFN-γ-producing cells after stimulation in whole or Tregs-depleted fractions. (B) Representative plots of suppression assays in which depleted Tregs from (A) (lower panel) or CD25<sup>lo</sup> fraction (upper panel) were cocultured in 1:2 ratio with CFSE-labeled PBMCs in overnight culture in the presence of 2μg/mL of gag p24 peptide pool, 1μg/mL of αCD28 and αCD49d and 10μg/mL of Brefeldin A. (C) Graphs showing percent of both CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> IFN- γ-secretion suppression (n = 9). Data were analyzed by Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.</p
Ex-vivo phenotype.
<p>Percentages of CD4<sup>+</sup>, CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, CD4<sup>+</sup>/CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cells ratios as well as the percentages of CD4<sup>+</sup>CD25<sup>hi</sup>CD127<sup>lo</sup>FoxP3<sup>+</sup> Tregs (among CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells) at week -4 (prior vaccination) and week 16 (post vaccination). Medians with IQR values are indicated. P values are calculated based on Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. All cell staining and flow cytometry analysis was performed on freshly thawed samples from n = 14 HIV-1 infected individuals included in this study.</p><p>Ex-vivo phenotype.</p
