CD8+ T cells are immune cells that can release inflammatory signals such as interferon gamma.
THC reduced interferon gamma secretion by reducing the development of CD8+ T cells.
The researchers said this effect could help improve cognitive outcomes during HIV infection.
They also noted that the findings may be generalizable to other inflammatory diseases.
