Objective: Analysis of functionally defined T-cell differentiation in HIV-infected patients with low CD4(+) on virologically suppressive HAART is crucial to design clinically efficacious treatments.Methods: We cross-sectionally investigated the maturation (CD45RA/CCR7, CD7) and function [antigen-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay (ELISPOT), interleukin-2 (IL-2)/interferon-gamma-producing cells] of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in 34 HIV-infected immunological nonresponders (INRs): CD4(+) cell count less than or equal to 200 cells/mu l, HIV-RNA 50 copies/ml or less, as compared to 20 full responders (CD4(+) >500 cells/mu l, HIV-RNA
