CD69 and HIV-1 infection: With the purpose of pin-pointing the possible impact of age and HIV-1 infection on the phenotype of B cell subpopulations, we measured the expression of inhibitory molecules (PD-1 and FcRL4) and activation markers (CD25 and CD69) on B cell subpopulations in healthy controls and HIV-1 infected subjects, and related these findings to the ability of B cells to respond to activation signals.
