What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart. Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.

CD4/CD8 ratio is associated with structural reorganization of vaccine-induced immune responses in people living with HIVFrontiers in immunology · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Background: Despite effective antiretroviral therapy and sustained viral suppression, people living with HIV (PLWH) continue to exhibit persistent immune activation and low-grade inflammation. Although the CD4/CD8 ratio is routinely monitored as a marker of immune health, the mechanisms underlying residual immune dysregulation remain incompletely understood.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from PLWH and HC were collected before and one month after two doses of mRNA vaccination and analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing with paired TCR profiling. Differential gene expression (DGE) and protein–protein interaction (PPI) network analyses were performed, and node degree distributions were compared among groups. TCR and bulk BCR repertoires were analyzed, and neutralizing antibody responses were assessed. PLWH were stratified by CD4/CD8 ratio. Results: Stratification by CD4/CD8 ratio revealed distinct immune states in PLWH. Differential genes from the normal CD4/CD8 ratios showed focused transcriptional activation with coordinated chemokine-associated communication, whereas those with low CD4/CD8 ratios exhibited broad transcriptional dysregulation and structural reorganization of gene-expression networks. This network signature was characterized by altered PPI topology and significantly increased monocyte-specific node degree, independent of overall transcriptional complexity. Repertoire analyses demonstrated clonal skewing and reduced clonotype diversity in the low CD4/CD8 ratio group, consistent with impaired immune coordination. Conclusion: Vaccine-induced immune responses in PLWH are shaped by network-level organization associated with CD4/CD8 ratio–defined immune states. Low CD4/CD8 ratio group showed increased monocyte-specific PPI connectivity and clonal imbalance, suggesting altered vaccine-induced response dynamics not captured by conventional clinical markers.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE332711_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1465100 and SRA study SRP702242. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
60 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 60 sample titles: 60 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
