Plasmatic Levels of IL-18, IP-10, and Activated CD8+ T Cells Are Potential Biomarkers to Identify HIV-1 Elite Controllers With a True Functional Cure Profile
11 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Elite controllers (ECs) are rare individuals able to naturally control HIV-1 replication below the detection limit of viral load (VL) commercial assays. It is unclear, however, whether ECs might be considered a natural model of a functional cure because some studies have noted CD4+ T cell depletion and disease progression associated with abnormally high levels of immune activation and/or inflammation in this...
