While they say their findings support the rationale to combine a PD - L1 blockade with antiretroviral treatment to restore effector responses in
HIV infected individuals, the researchers also suggest that the observed differential and plasma viremia dependent gain of Treg cell proliferation and overall suppressive function upon PD - L1 blockade has direct consequences for patient selection to enter clinical trials targeting the PD - 1 / PD - L1 signaling pathway and treatment modalities.

The aim of this study is to determine whether a 20 - week treatment course with 1 μg / kg / week of pegylated interferon alpha 2 b (peg - IFN - α2b) will reduce the levels of HIV - 1 proviral DNA levels in circulating PBMC and mucosa - associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) in HIV -
infected individuals receiving long - term anti-retroviral therapy (ART).
Aspergillus fumigatus is classed as an opportunistic pathogen because it will
only infect an individual whose immune system does not work properly.
