Abstract
Immunometabolism is important to T cell dysfunction in chronic infections. A recent publication in The Journal of Clinical Investigation (2018;128:5083-5094) [1] shows reduced mitochondrial fitness in regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs) of patients with HIV and failed immune restoration on antiretroviral therapy (ART). This defect can be reversed by IL-15, revealing a new immunotherapy target for regulatory T cell restoration.Entities:
