Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) causes impairment of T and B cell responses, which begins during the acute phase of infection and is not completely restored by antiretroviral treatment. Regulatory T cell (Tregs) can improve overall disease outcome by controlling chronic inflammati...
Little is known about regulatory CD4 T cells (Tregs) in the context of HIV vaccines. Tregs can be differentiated into resting (FoxP3+CD45RA+ - rTregs), activated (FoxP3HighCD45RA- - aTregs) and memory (FoxP3LowCD45RA- - mTregs). Tregs, as CD4 T cells, are also frequent targets for HIV infection. We studi...
Background: The acute phase of HIV infection is characterized by massive depletion of CD4 T cells, high viral plasma levels and pronounced systemic immune activation. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have the potential to control systemic immune activation but also to suppress antigen specific T and B cell res...
Regulatory CD4 T cells (Tregs) are critical in maintaining the homeostasis of the immune system.
Quantitative or phenotypic alterations and functional impairment of Tregs have been associated with the development
of pathologies including those of the central nervous system. Individuals with HIV-1/HTLV-1 ...
CD4(+)CD25(High) Treg cells in HIV/HTLV co-infected patients with neuropathy: high expression of Alpha4 integrin and lower expression of Foxp3 transcription factor
As células T CD4 reguladoras (Tregs) são críticas na manutenção da homeostase do sistema imunológico. Alterações quantitativas ou fenotípicas e comprometimento funcional de Tregs têm sido associados ao desenvolvimento de patologias incluindo as do sistema nervoso central. Indivíduos com coinfe...
