In individuals who started antiretroviral therapy during acute HIV infection, the proliferative capacity of HIV-specific CD8+ ...
Cancer immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that harnesses the immune system to fight cancer cells. The treatment ...
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell ...
A review found that CD4/CD8 ratio could be used as a prognostic marker for mortality in patients with HIV, though future studies need to be done to confirm these findings. Clinical practices can ...
Researchers have found that antigen-specific killer T cells (CD8+ T cells) rapidly expand in the lungs when primed by antigen-presenting lung-resident alveolar macrophages (AMs). This interaction ...
These immune CD8 T cells may provide a target for treating the buildup of fatty lesions in the arteries called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the underlying pathology of heart attacks and strokes ...
A study in the journal Science Immunology now shows how two subsets of one type of immune cell — the CD8 T cell — develop to provide either short-term or long-term immune protection. The study focuses ...
Clonally expanded CD8+ T cells are key drivers of alopecia areata, mediating epithelial cell death and immune infiltration. JAK inhibitors are approved for AA treatment, but recurrence is common, ...
