i.v.IG for autoimmune, fibrosis, and malignant conditions: our experience with 200 patients.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The purpose of the study was to determine associations between pre-antiretroviral therapy (ART) senescent CD8+ T lymphocytes and naïve versus non-naive CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocyte subpopulations and CD4+ responses after initiation of ART in younger versus older individuals. METHODS:Retrospective analysis of 1...
