Immunology and Infectious Diseases Program, Division of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University, St, John s, Canada
BMC Immunol 9:28. 2008..Therefore, we investigated in vitro cytokine responses to HCV structural and non-structural proteins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from uninfected, HIV-infected, HCV-infected and HIV/HCV-coinfected individuals...
- Stronger hepatitis C virus-specific CD8+ T-cell responses in HIV coinfectionL Barrett
Immunology Program, Division of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John s, NL, Canada
J Viral Hepat 18:170-80. 2011..The greatest difference between HIV/HCV-coinfected and HCV-monoinfected groups was substantially stronger HCV-specific CD8+ T-cell responses in the HIV-coinfected group, which may relate to accelerated liver disease in this setting...

- Circulating CD14-CD36+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells constitutively produce interleukin-10Lisa Barrett
Immunology Program, Division of Basic Medical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John s, Newfoundland, Canada
J Leukoc Biol 82:152-60. 2007..Healthy individuals have PBMC constitutively producing IL-10. Although the lineage of these cells remains unclear, their properties and frequency suggest a potential role in homeostatic or innate immune suppression...

Immunology Program, Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John s, Newfoundland, Canada
J Clin Immunol 24:115-24. 2004..However, the transient nature of these responses suggests failure to generate stable long-lived memory cells in the absence of HIV-specific helper T cell responses...
