Regulatory T cells and the risk of CMV end-organ disease in patients with AIDS
2014
Objectives
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T-cell effectors (CMV-Teff) protect against CMV end-organ disease (EOD). In HIV-infected individuals, their numbers and function vary with CD4+ cell numbers and HIV load. The role of regulatory T cells (Treg) in CMV-EOD has not been extensively studied. We investigated the contribution of Treg and Teff towards CMV-EOD in HIV-infected individuals independently of CD4+ cell numbers and HIV load and controlling for CMV reactivations.
