Inhibitory Receptor Expression on CD8+ T Cells Is Linked to Functional Responses against <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> Antigens in Chronic Chagasic Patients
19 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
In mammals, chronic diseases resulting from infectious agents have been associated with functional T cell response deficiency, a high frequency of terminally differentiated T cells, the presence of monofunctional Ag-specific T cells, and increased expression of inhibitory receptors. Similar to other chronic diseases, the progressive loss of certain functional activities during Trypanosoma cruzi infection might...
