Dysfunctional effector memory CD8 T cells in the bronchoalveolar compartment of people living with HIV

M. Mthembu, H. Claassen, S. Khuzwayo, V. Voillet, A. Naidoo, K. Nyamande, D. F. Khan, P. Maharaj, M. Mitha, Z. Mhlane, F. Karim, E. Andersen-Nissen, T. Ndung'u, G. Pollara, E. B. Wong

This study identifies dysfunctional effector memory CD8 T cells in the bronchoalveolar compartment of HIV-positive individuals, linked to reduced IL-17A production and increased regulatory molecule expression, contributing to susceptibility to tuberculosis.
