Induction of Cell Death in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Macrophages and Resting Memory CD4 T Cells by TRAIL/Apo2L
15 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Because the persistence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in cellular reservoirs presents an obstacle to viral eradication, we evaluated whether tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L) induces apoptosis in such reservoirs. Lymphocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) from uninfected donors do not die following treatment with either leucine zipper human TRAIL (LZhuTRAIL) or...
