But HIV is a tough opponent -- its outer protein shell that can be recognized by antibodies is littered with decoy sites that confuse the immune system. B and TFH cells work toward targeting the ...

The UT Austin research team's finding is significant because the Tfh cells—which are present in greater numbers in HIV-infected patients than in healthy individuals— typically help fight off ...

HIV infections are particularly difficult to clear for many reasons, one being that they hide out in the immune system’s own cells. In fact, a specific type of cells called follicular helper T cells ...

The study, published in Science Immunology, describes how the follicular helper T (Tfh) cell, which plays a key role in defending the immune system, behaves very differently in HIV patients. Tfh cells ...

Prior studies have suggested that HIV prefers to infect a subtype of CD4+ T cells, called Tfh, and Roan's team confirmed these cells to be susceptible to HIV. However, they also discovered that ...

Darwin Tenoria first learned about HIV when he was on his deathbed. He was 27 and weighed just 70 pounds. "I died for two minutes and I was revived in the hospital," he remembers. When he woke up ...
