Sigmoid Th17 populations, the HIV latent reservoir, and microbial translocation in men on long-term antiretroviral therapy
5 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Th17 cells play an important role in mucosal defence and repair and are highly susceptible to infection by HIV. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses HIV viremia and can restore CD4(+) numbers in the blood and gastrointestinal mucosa, but the resolution of systemic inflammation and gut microbial translocation is often incomplete. We hypothesized that this might relate to persistent dysregulation of...
