Biomarker May Signal HIV Progression
Date:3/28/2008

creasing, these patients are losing CD4+ T-cells, which are critical for maintaining one's immune system.

"This may actually provide an earlier window into what is happening with HIV-infected patients where we might be able to see that immune impairment is taking place before we see a dramatic loss of CD4+ T-cells," she said.

The researchers plan to expand this study by following a cohort of patients over time to see if their findings can provide doctors with an early warning system and help them design better therapeutic strategies, Fischer-Smith said.
