Expression of the IL-7 Receptor Alpha-Chain Is Down Regulated on the Surface of CD4 T-Cells by the HIV-1 Tat Protein

HIV infection elicits defects in CD4 T-cell homeostasis in both a quantitative and qualitative manner. Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is essential to T-cell homeostasis and several groups have shown reduced levels of the IL-7 receptor alpha-chain (CD127) on both CD4 and CD8 T-cells in viremic HIV+ patients.
