As a result, it has long been believed that thymic involution is indicative of a nonfunctional organ. Recently, however, with the use of computed tomography analysis and innovative molecular approaches that measure T-cell receptor circles, indicative of recent thymic emigrants, doubt has been placed on that dogma. The thymus appears to be active in thymopoiesis throughout the adult life, albeit inversely correlated with age. Being faced with diseases that deplete T-cells such as the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), this recent finding has the potential to exploit novel approaches that enhance thymic output as a mechanism to reconstitute the immune system. In this review, we will revisit the role of T-cells in immunity, the relationship between thymic function and age, and closely examine the impact of HIV-mediated thymic dysregulation on thymopoiesis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100270,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Immunology Newsletter","volume":"19 6","pages":"Pages 65, 72-79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0197-1859(00)89202-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85899026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The early effect of potent combination drug therapy is a reduction in peripheral viral burden and a reduction in the production of inflammatory and type 1 cytokines. Further along in treatment there are trends toward normalization in the frequencies of CD8<sup>8</sup> T-cells, CD4<sup>+</sup> CD45RA<sup>+</sup> cells, as well as CD4<sup>+</sup> CD45R0<sup>+</sup> cells. Finally, the CD1a<sup>+</sup> dendritic cell network is re-established and germinal centers are reformed. Although this restoration of the lymphoid dynamic form is coupled to a reconstitution of peripheral blood T-cell function in vitro and by skin testing, sterilizing immunity to HIV-1 does not develop. Furthermore there is no heightened development of cytotoxic CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell function at the site of HIV-1 latency. This is evidenced by a massive recrudescence of HIV-1 viral replication within lymphoid tissue when therapy is stopped. The development of supplemental therapies, which reconstitute anti-HIV-1 immunity, will be required. Specific defects in anti-HIV-1 activity which occur in lymphoid tissue during infection include a downregulation of perform expression by cytotoxic T-cells, the down regulation of the TCR signal transducing chain CD3ζ, and inadequate CD4<sup>+</sup> T-cell help within the tissue compartment of immune regeneration.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100270,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Immunology Newsletter","volume":"19 6","pages":"Pages 65-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0197-1859(00)89201-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79737289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
