Characterization of MAIT cell function and frequency at the rectal mucosa and gastrointestinal tract during HIV/SIV infection
FY 2015-16
Summary
To cure HIV infection, strategies are being developed to alter the immune environment in the human gut, where HIV tends to persist. This project will use primate models to investigate the impact of a new drug on a specific immune cell type that helps to regulate the gut immune system. This information will help to determine whether this drug represents a viable strategy for treating human HIV infection.
