Popis: TLR2-signaling may contribute to B-cell activation during HIV infection leading to HIV-NHL genesis; a common malignancy in anti-retroviral therapy (ART) treated patients. TLR-signaling and anti-tumor immunity inhibitory regulatory B cells (Bregs) contribute to lymphomagenesis but their roles in HIV-NHL genesis remain unexplored. We investigated, if in HIV- donors, TLR-activated B cells mimic an activated/germinal center (GC)-like phenotype aberrantly expressed in B-cell lymphomas. Further, in HIV+ART subjects: (cases =
