Altered representation of naive and memory CD8 T cell subsets in HIV-infected children.
TL;DR: For HIV-infected children, the naive CD8 T cell and total CD4 T cell counts correlate, suggesting that the loss of naiveCD8 T cells in HIV infection may contribute to the defects in cell-mediated immunity which become progressively worse as the HIV disease progresses and CD4 counts decrease.
