Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms by which CD4+ regulatory T cells (T(regs)) mediate suppression of virus-specific responses remain poorly defined. Adenosine, mediated via CD39 and CD73, has been shown to play a role in the action of murine T(regs) . In this study we investigate the phenotype of T(regs) in the context of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection, and the function of these cells in response to HIV-1-Gag and...
