Ongoing research investigating how HIV remains as a latent reservoir in resting T helper cells to ensure viral persistence in patients that have undergone treatment with highly active antiretroviral ...

Each summer three undergraduate students work with Dr. Anding Shen investigating the roles of endothelial cells on HIV infection and latency formation in resting T helper cells. In many patients with ...

In spite of seeming to be just 'bystander cells'that escape infection, many CD4 T cells are killed by the HIV virus, the reason for which researchers seem to have discovered at last. In spite of ...

Two research teams led by Warner Greene at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco have demonstrated that the vast majority of CD4 T cells in lymphoid tissues, despite their ability to resist full ...

HIV is a virus that attacks cells in the body ... and uninfected cells, to then identify helper T cells (which detect infections), memory cells, naïve cells (which fight off infections ...

Basic information on HIV and the immune system T-lymphocytes (sometimes just called T-cells) are called different names depending on the molecules on their surface. CD4 cells (also known as CD4 ...

Boosting the HIV-specific helper cells may be giving the virus more factories in which to reproduce. T helper (Th) cells have a "dual role as target cells for infection, as well as being important ...

are able to prime a CTL response specific for this HIV-1 epitope in human cell lines. Successful priming also requires a T-helper epitope, pep23 (KDSWTVNDIQKLVGK), corresponding to residues 249 ...

Immunocore’s big swing for a functional HIV cure has cleared its first hurdle. No serious adverse events were tied to the British biotech’s bispecific T-cell engager in a phase 1/2 trial ...

After HIV intercepts the immune system's DNA, it targets CD4 cells. White blood cells called CD4 cells, sometimes referred to as T-helper cells or T cells, are essential for immunological activity.
