Popis: We compared immune phenotypes, lymphocyte proliferation (LP), and delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses in 28 male antiretroviral treatment-naive and experienced HIV-1-infected patients, matched pair-wise according to age and CD4 + T-lymphocyte count. Median CD4 + T-lymphocyte counts were 441 cells/μL and 483 cells/μL and median CD4 + T-lymphocyte nadirs were 435 cells/μL and 150 cells/μL in both groups, respectively. Absolute numbers of circulating T-lymphocyte subpopulations and proportions of naive and memory T-lymphocytes were comparable in the two groups. Untreated patients had greater proportions of activated CD4 + (p
