When platelet counts were compared in 1986 and 1992 in 117 anti-HIV antibody positive and negative hemophilia patients, a clear decrease was found in the positive group. In 1992 platelet counts < 150 x 10(9) were present in 23.5% of the positive group in contrast to 5.8% of the negative group. Comparing platelet counts with other clinical parameters, a

CD49a expression defines a metabolically robust, cytokine‐biased liver NK cell subset in rhesus macaques during lentivirus infection

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Liver‐resident NK cells (CD49a+ NK cells) in rhesus macaques display distinct activating receptor and metabolic markers enhanced phenotype compared with hepatic NK cell subsets (CD49a−) in the liver. These cells exhibit heightened cytokine polyfunctionality with restrained cytotoxic responses upon mitogen stimulation in comparison with CD49a− NK cell ...
