IL-15 levels in HIV-1 infected patients.
HIV-1 infected patients were divided into 4 groups based on viral load and comparisons were made using the Mann-Whitney test (A)). In(B), comparisons were made for patients who were treatment naive. IL-15 levels were positively correlated with HIV-1 viral load (C) and negatively correlated with CD4+ T cell counts (D). Note that the viral load is graphed on a logarithmic scale (log 10) on the X-axis in (C).

IL-15 levels were significantly correlated against markers of inflammation and coagulation.
IL-15 levels showed significant correlation with CRP (A), D-dimer (B), sCD163 (C) and sCD14 (D).
