HIV-1 gp120 N-linked glycosylation differs between plasma and leukocyte compartments

Table 2 Statistical comparison on the number of glycosylation sites between compartments using the gap-stripped sequences.

Number of NLG sites	CD4⁺	CD8⁺	Monocytes	PBMC	Plasma
CD4⁺	-	0.8713	0.1711	0.7645	0.08367
CD8⁺	-	-	0.2908	0.9132	0.0962
Monocytes	-	-	-	0.3412	0.01696
PBMC	-	-	-	-	0.0818
Grouped cells	-	-	-	-	0.02281

Above are the p-values resulting from the Kruskal-Wallis test when we compared for statistical differences in the observed number of glycosylation sites across different compartments using the gap-stripped sequences. The category "Grouped cells" represents sequences from cellular compartments (CD4⁺, CD8⁺ T cells, Monocytes and PBMC). The gap-inclusive results are not shown as no statistical significant difference was observed (see text).
