Name Time Method <p>This is a discovery study aiming to study exhaustion in HIV-specific CD8+ T<br /><br>cells and how these functional defects can be modified by epigenetic<br /><br>inhibitors. The main study parameters are a) phenotypic and functional<br /><br>characterization of HIV- and CMV-specific CD8+ T cells from HIV-infected<br /><br>individuals; b) Increase of function and reverse of exhaustion phenotype by<br /><br>epigenetic inhibitors; c) Expression pattern of select post-transcriptional<br /><br>modifiers in HIV- and CMV-specific CD8+ T cells from HIV-infected individuals. </p><br>
