A scoping review of the acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of opt‐out blood‐borne virus (BBV) testing in secondary healthcare settings, in the UK and similar settings, using APEASE criteria

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Earlier diagnosis of blood‐borne viruses (BBVs)—HIV, hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV)—remains a significant public‐health focus.

BLIMP‐1 and CD39 expression define human effector memory regulatory T cells in blood and recall responses to viruses

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
This study found that BLIMP‐1 is highly expressed in activated effector/memory human regulatory T cells, especially CD39+ Tregs, where it is associated with increased IL‐10 production and a conserved phenotype across blood and lung tissues during immune responses such as SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.
