Increased frequencies of Th17 cells and IL17a-producing regulatory T-cells preceding the immunodiscordant response to antiretroviral treatment

Increased frequencies of Th17, IL17a-producing Treg and CD4 T-cells producing specific IL17a-containing combinations of cytokines, precede the immunodiscordant response to cART, suggesting a potential contribution of these subsets in such anomalous response to cART.
