title: Activation and coreceptor expression of T lymphocytes in HIV/AIDS patients of China.
abstract: The objective of this paper was to investigate the activation and coreceptor CCR5, CXCR4 expression of T lymphocytes in HIV/AIDS patients of China, and to study their association with disease progression. Seventy-seven HIV/AIDS patients and thirteen normal controls were enrolled and three-color flow-cytometry was used to detect the activation marker HLA-DR, CD38 and the coreceptor CCR5, CXCR4 expression on T lymphocytes in whole blood samples taken from the patients and the controls. The HLA-DR, CD38 and CCR5 expression on CD4, CD8+ T cells in AIDS patients was higher than in asymptomatic HIV-1 infected patients and normal controls (p < 0.05); The activation and CCR5 expression on T lymphocytes significantly correlated with CD4+ T lymphocyte number and viral load. The activation on T lymphocytes and the expression of CCR5 on T lymphocytes in HIV/AIDS patients of China are significantly correlated with disease progression.
