HIV DNA reservoir and elevated PD‐1 expression of CD4 T‐cell subsets particularly persist in the terminal ileum of HIV‐positive patients despite cART

Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Despite its importance as an HIV anatomic sanctuary, little is known about the characteristics of the HIV reservoir in the terminal ileum (TI). In blood, the immune checkpoint inhibitor programmed-death-1 (PD-1) has been linked to the HIV reservoir and T-cell immune dysfunction. We thus evaluated PD-1 expression and cell-associated HIV DNA in memory CD4 T-cell subsets from TI, peripheral blood (PB)...
