    Cytomegalovirus Infection Impairs the Mobilization of Tissue-Resident Innate Lymphoid Cells in Response to Acute Exercise

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34452400/ Abstract Circulating immune cell numbers and phenotypes are impacted by high-intensity acute bouts of exercise and infection history with the latent herpesviruses cytomegalovirus (CMV). In particular, CMV infection history impairs the exercise-induced...

    Summary of NK and T cell discussions

    Since scientific studies on the lymphocytes called Natural Killer (NK) cells and CD8+ T cells in ME have provided conflicting results, I just wanted to start a thread to summarize in one place all discussions on this issue. Hopefully, by listing all discussions in one place, it will be easier...

    OM-85 - Broncho-Vaxom to raise Percentage Natural Killer T Cells

    OM-85 - Broncho-Vaxom. I am surprised I found zero hits on the forum. My immunologist wants to perscribe it for my extremly low percentage of NK cells. From what I understand, a huge amount of CFS Patients suffer from low NK Cell (not only low activitiy but also low cell number and % amount)...
