The origin of CD4+ T cells reappearing in the blood following antiretroviral therapy in human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection is still controversial. Here we show, using mathematical modeling, that redistribution of T cells to the blood can explain the striking correlation between the initial CD4+ and CD8+ memory T-cell repopulation and the observation that 3 weeks after the start of treatment memory CD4+ T-cell numbers reach a plateau. The increase in CD4+ T cells following therapy most likely is a composite of initial redistribution, accompanied by a continuous slow repopulation with newly produced naive T cells.
在1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)感染中,抗逆转录病毒治疗后血液中重新出现的CD4+ T细胞的来源仍存在争议。在此,我们通过数学建模表明,T细胞向血液中的重新分布可以解释初始CD4+和CD8+记忆T细胞再填充之间的显著相关性,以及治疗开始3周后记忆CD4+ T细胞数量达到平稳期这一观察结果。治疗后CD4+ T细胞的增加很可能是初始重新分布的综合结果,同时伴随着新产生的幼稚T细胞的持续缓慢再填充。
