Sustained CD28 Expression Delays Multiple Features of Replicative Senescence in Human CD8 T Lymphocytes
18 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
CD28 costimulatory signal transduction in T lymphocytes is essential for optimal telomerase activity, stabilization of cytokine mRNAs, and glucose metabolism. During aging and chronic infection with HIV-1, there are increased proportions of CD8 T lymphocytes that lack CD28 expression and show additional features of replicative senescence. Moreover, the abundance of these cells correlates with decreased vaccine...
