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 ...

Without CD4 T helper cells, the immune system cannot recognize and coordinate a defensive response to diseases like HIV. This is when a person is said to be immunocompromised. This article ...

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. <p>In many patients ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pseudoscience has recently re-emerged in the U.S. While much of it concerns vaccines, an "oldie" is again making the rounds: ...

Now, try some realpolitik: HIV invading the immune system with antigen-specific immune responses kicking in within days, the virus preying on the very T helper cells needed to orchestrate immune ...

A key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T cell. Dysregulated CD4 T cells have been implicated in autoimmune liver disease ...
