Presence of CD8+ T Cells in the Ectocervical Mucosa Correlates with Genital Viral Shedding in HIV-Infected Women despite a Low Prevalence of HIV RNA–Expressing Cells in the Tissue
(2014)
The female genital tract is a portal of entry for sexual HIV transmission and a possible viral reservoir. In this study, the ectocervical CD8+ T cell distribution was explored in situ and was related to expression of CD3 ...
HIV-1 Clade D Is Associated with Increased Rates of CD4 Decline in a Kenyan Cohort
(2012)
HIV-1 is grouped phylogenetically into clades, which may impact rates of HIV-1 disease progression. Clade D infection in
particular has been shown to be more pathogenic. Here we confirm in a Nairobi-based prospective ...
HIV viral set point and host immune control in individuals with HIV-specific CD8R T-cell responses prior to HIV acquisition
(2010)
OBJECTIVE:
Vaccine-induced CD8(+) T-cell responses in primates have been associated with a reduced simian immunodeficiency virus plasma viral load and enhanced T-cell responses, but cellular vaccines have shown limited ...
