Endocervical curettage, endocervical cytobrush, and endometrial biopsy were obtained from all women. Expression of T cell activation markers, memory/effector differentiation markers and HIV co receptors were assessed by multiparameter flow c...

CIN 1 represents mild dysplasia and is now classified as low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LGSIL); CIN 2 and 3 lesions encompass moderate-to-severe dysplasia and are now classified as high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HGSILs) based on the Bethesda cervical ...
