- Title
Defeating T-cell fatigue in HIV.
- Authors
Farrell, Alison
- Abstract
The article provides research findings on defeating T cells fatigues in HIV infected patients. A research based on the earlier experiments done on mice identified a receptor, PD-1, on T cells. It recognized PD-1, as a contributing factor to T-cell exhaustion in HIV infected people. The article reports that the findings of PD-1 signaling pathway may benefit in understanding the paralysis of the immune system in HIV infected people.
