Co-infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis impairs HIV-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cell functionality
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: Background: The ability of antigen-specific T cells to simultaneously produce multiple cytokines has been associated with control of HIV and tuberculosis (TB). Dual infection with HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is thought to increase disease progression of both diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of MTB infection on HIV-specific T cell functionality.
