Most of the current assays directed at investigation HIV reactivation are based on cultures infected cells such as Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) or isolated CD4
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common herpesvirus causing lifelong latent infection in most people and primary cause of congenital worldwide. Given the role NK cells materno-fetal barrier, we investigated peripheral blood cell behavior context CMV acquired during pregnancy. We analyzed phenotype CD107a surface mobilization on PBMCs from CMV-transmitting non-transmitting mothers newborns with or without infection. showed typical CMV-adaptive cells, characterized by higher levels NKG2C,...
