Human immunodeficiency virus-specific CD8(+) T cells in human breast milk.
Breast-feeding infants of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women ingest large amounts of HIV, but most escape infection. While the factors affecting transmission risk are poorly understood, HIV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses play a critical role in controlling HIV levels in blood. We therefore investigated the ability of breast milk cells (BMC) from HIV-infected wome...
متن کاملProximity of Cytomegalovirus-Specific CD8+ T Cells to Replicative Senescence in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Individuals
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively extends the life expectancy of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals; however, age-related morbidities have emerged as major clinical concerns. In this context, coinfection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) accelerates immune senescence and elevates risk for other age-related morbidities, possibly through increased inflammation. We investigate...
متن کاملImpaired function of circulating HIV-specific CD8(+) T cells in chronic human immunodeficiency virus infection.
The functional status of circulating human immunodeficiency (HIV)-specific CD8 T cells in chronically infected subjects was evaluated. By flow cytometry, only 5 of 7 subjects had detectable CD8 T cells that produced IFN-gamma after stimulation with HIV-infected primary CD4 T cells. In 2 subjects, the frequency of IFN-gamma-producing cells increased 4-fold when IL-2 was added to the culture medi...
متن کاملCell-free human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in breast milk.
Breast-feeding may be an important route of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vertical transmission in settings where it is routinely practiced. To define the prevalence and quantity of HIV-1 in cell-free breast milk, samples from HIV-1-seropositive women were analyzed by quantitative competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (QC-RT-PCR). HIV-1 RNA was detected in 29...
متن کاملCutaneous CD8+ T-cell infiltrates associated with human immunodeficiency virus.
of the cases of preterm EG in the literature involve the face. This characteristic formed the basis for the term noma neonatorum, coined by Ghosal et al. because of the clinical similarity between this type of EG and noma (cancrum oris), a disease that is predominantly caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and Prevotella intermedia and described in children aged 2 years and older and adults livin...
