| Core Tip |
During the progress of human immunodefi-ciency virus (HIV) infection and viral replication functional irritations of memory B-cell (BMC) compart-ment occur. Depletion of BMCs is one hallmark of deregulation in HIV-1 infection. Diminished levels of IgM+ BMCs are also noted. Additionally, resting BMCs are severely impaired and defective B-cell subsets, like exhausted and activated BMCs circulate in peripheral blood. Significant fluctuations of these B cells’ frequencies are recorded over time and antiretroviral therapy may play a role on this observation. Assessing these populations could potentially lead to improvement in assessing vaccine responses and tracing vulnerable patients to certain infections.
