摘要:
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are tissue-homing T cells recently implicated in HIV pathogenesis. We found that the proportion of MAIT cell in blood and colon of HIV+ patients are reduced in untreated infection. Antiretroviral therapy restored colonic but not blood MAIT cell percentages. We observed a negative correlation between colonic MAIT cells and T-cell activation in blood and suggest mucosal MAIT cell depletion may contribute to systemic immune activation in HIV infection.
