Gut mucosal T cell responses and gene expression correlate with protection against disease in long-term HIV-1-infected nonprogressors
24 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Limited information is available on the molecular mechanisms by which long-term HIV-1-infected nonprogressors suppress HIV-1 infection and maintain immune functions. The intestinal mucosal immune system is an early target for HIV-1 infection and severe CD4+ T cell depletion. We evaluated mucosal T lymphocyte subsets, virus-specific cellular responses, gene expression profiles, and viral loads in intestinal...
