Increased natural killer cell activity in viremic HIV-1 infection.
NK cells are a subset of granular lymphocytes that are critical in the innate immune response to infection. These cells are capable of killing infected cells and secreting integral cytokines and chemokines. The role that this subset of cytolytic cells plays in HIV infection is not well understood. In this study, we dissected the function of NK cells in viremic and aviremic HIV-1-infected subjec...
متن کاملIncreased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
متن کاملAdaptive Reconfiguration of Natural Killer Cells in HIV-1 Infection
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) co-infection is highly prevalent within HIV-1 cohorts and is an important cofactor in driving ongoing immune activation, even during effective antiretroviral treatment. HCMV infection has recently been associated with expansion of adaptive-like natural killer (NK) cells, which harbor epigenetic alterations that impact on their cellular function and phenotype. The in...

متن کاملActivity of natural killer cells during HIV-1 infection in Brazilian patients.
UNLABELLED Natural killer cells are increasingly being considered an important component of innate resistance to viruses, but their role in HIV infection is controversial. Some investigators have found that natural killer cells do not confer a protective effect during the progression of HIV disease, whereas others have shown that natural killer cells may be protective and retard the progression...
