Responsiveness to IL-7 but not to IFN-alpha is diminished in CD4(+) T cells from treated HIV infected patients who experience poor CD4(+) T-cell recovery

摘要

Objective: To assess CD4(+) T-cell responsiveness to IL-7 and IFN-alpha in HIV-infected patients who experience poor recovery of CD4(+) T-cell counts during therapy (immune failure patients).
