Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from 10 HIV patients treated with antiretroviral therapy and one HIV elite controller. Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) was used to quantify total HIV DNA loads in FACS sorted CD4+ Treg (CD25+CD127lo) as compared with Tcm (CD45RO+CCR7+) and Tem (CD45RO+CCR7-). In contrast to earlier reports, no significant difference was found in total HIV DNA burden associated with Treg when compared to Tem and Tcm cells.
