A cross-sectional study of C-type lectin receptors (CD94 and CD314) in patients with HIV/AIDS and cancer

Abstract

examined in the total NK cell population and CD56dim and CD56bright NK cell subsets separately and Tand NKT-cell populations. There was a significant increase of the expression of NKG2D (CD134) in T lymphocytes in HIV/AIDS and HIV/AIDSWC compared to healthy donors. There were no significant changes of this receptor in NK cells (and their subtypes) and NKT to compare them with healthy donors.As for the CD94 receptor, there were no significant changes of this receptor on NK cells (and their subtypes), NKT cells and T Lymphocyte to compare them with healthy donors, except for the increase in percentage of the expression in CD56bright cells, however this was not true in absolute terms.
