Abstract excerpt
CD8+ T-cell-mediated HIV-1 suppressive activity has been shown against a number of strains of HIV-1 and HIV-2. In this study using a semiquantitative assay, we showed that CD8+ T cells from seropositive subjects and herpes virus saimiri transformed CD8+ T-cell clones from HIV-1-infected subjects exhibited 5 to 100-fold higher suppressive activity against slow replicating nonsyncytia-inducing strains (Slow/NSI) as...
