Role of In Vitro Stimulation with Lipopolysaccharide on T-Cell Activation in HIV-Infected Antiretroviral-Treated Patients by Camilla Tincati, Giusi M. Bellistrì, Giuseppe Ancona, Esther Merlini, Antonella d’Arminio Monforte, Giulia Marchetti

“…While HLA-DR induction reflects impaired CD4+ reconstitution on HAART, cell-surface CD38 expression is increased only on CD8+ T-cells, allowing to speculate that the sole induction of CD38 on CD4+ cells may not be sufficient to depict LPS-driven immune activation in HIV.…”
