γδ T-cell subsets in HIV controllers: potential role of Tγδ17 cells in the regulation of chronic immune activation

Conclusion: The relative preservation of IL-17-producing γδ T cells in HIC and their negative association with immune activation raise the hypothesis that Tγδ17 cells – potentially through prevention of microbial translocation – may participate in the control of chronic systemic immune activation.
