Since HIV infection itself alters epigenetic processes in the immune system, the research team wondered whether a distinct DNA methylation profile, a major epigenetic modification where methyl groups are added to DNA, occurs in those with HIV associated - cognitive impairment and whether it exists in
distinct immune cell populations from the blood.

Title: Infiltrating
immune cells in breast cancer subtypes Date / Time: Tuesday, April 17 2018, 8:00 am - 12:00 pm CT Author: J.L. Matta et al, Ponce Health Sciences Institute and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center Poster # / Location: 5698 / Section 32, Board 4 Hyperlink: http://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/4562/presentation/7977 Demonstrates the value of combining PAM50 subtype distribution with tumor
immune profiling to identify biologically
distinct patient
