Close association of CD8<sup>+</sup>/CD38<sup>bright</sup> with HIV‐1 replication and complex relationship with CD4<sup>+</sup> T‐cell count
12 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Measuring lymphocyte activation provides information in addition to CD4(+) T-cell count for immune monitoring of HIV-1 infected patients. CD38 is a well-established activation marker that is generally analyzed on the whole population of CD8(+) T-cells. Focusing specifically on CD38 high expression (CD8(+)/CD38(bright)) may be an interesting surrogate gating strategy because CD38(bright) characterizes...
