Low Proportions of CD28− CD8+ T cells Expressing CD57 Can Be Reversed by Early ART Initiation and Predict Mortality in Treated HIV Infection
28 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Unlike cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and aging, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) decreases the proportion of CD28(-)CD8(+) T cells expressing CD57. Whether this abnormality predicts mortality in treated HIV infection and can be reversed by early antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains unknown. METHODS: We sampled recently HIV-infected individuals (<6 months) and HIV-uninfected controls and compared...
