Higher Frequency of NK and CD4 + T-Cells in Mucosa and Potent Cytotoxic Response in HIV Controllers

Higher Frequency of NK and CD4 +  T-Cells in Mucosa and Potent Cytotoxic Response in HIV Controllers | Mucosal Immunity | Scoop.it
HIV infection induces immune alterations, mainly in gut mucosa, where the main target cells reside. However, the evolution of the infection is variable among infected individuals, as evidenced by HIV controllers who exhibit low or undetectable viral load in the absence of treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency, phenotype and activity of T and NK cells in peripheral blood and gut mucosa in a cohort of Colombian HIV controllers. Blood and gut biopsies were included. The fr
