Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although likely pivotal, the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in HIV pathogenesis remains elusive. This can be partly explained by analytical issues regarding their phenotypic identification in clinical studies. Instead of intracellular FOXP3 staining, CD4+CD25+CD127- phenotype has been proposed as an alternative to identify Tregs in clinical samples. However, its use remains controversial in...
