The Secretion of IL-22 from Mucosal NKp44⁺ NK Cells Is Associated with Microbial Translocation and Virus Infection in SIV/SHIV-Infected Chinese Macaques

Figure 1

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels are not associated with plasma viral load (PVL), CD4⁺ T cells, route of infection, or virus strain. Peripheral LPS levels of infected Chinese macaques did not correlate with (a) PVL (Spearman correlation test, ), (b) peripheral CD4⁺ T cells (Spearman correlation test, ), (c) infectious route (two-sided nonparametric Mann-Whitney test, ), or (d) virus strain (two-sided nonparametric Mann-Whitney test, ).
