Abstract
The Role of Zinc in the T-Cell Metabolism in Infection Requires Further Investigation - An Opinion.
Highlights
Thymus depletion is a usual finding in human-immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients, but a refurbishment of the thymus function in children has been proposed in some virologic responders treated with multidrug combinations of antiretroviral agents [1–3]
T -cell receptor-derived excision circles (TRECs) are DNA portions in small circles generated in T-lymphocytes in a specific time
The period is their transition through the thymus as the T cells rearrange their T-cell receptor (TCR) genes [14–16]
Summary
Thymus depletion is a usual finding in human-immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients, but a refurbishment of the thymus function in children has been proposed in some virologic responders treated with multidrug combinations of antiretroviral agents [1–3].
