Abstract

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) senescence may be an important mechanism of immune failure in HIV-1 infection. We find that senescence of HIV-1-specific CTL clones causes loss of killing activity, preventable by transduction with telomerase. Furthermore, senescence is associated with reduced expression of the effector molecules granzyme and perforin, suggesting CTL "exhaustion" can result in hypofunction. These results agree with other studies showing that HIV-1-specific CTL exhibit abnormal phenotypes in vivo, and suggest the possibility that chronic turnover is an important mechanism of antiviral failure in HIV-1 infection.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Senescent CD8+ T lymphocytes aid tumor immune evasion by being functionally unresponsive and by suppressing responder T cells.

    “Senescent CD8 + T lymphocytes not only contribute to tumor immune evasion through their functional unresponsiveness (42) and their suppressor function toward responder T cells (41,43)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
