Lack of Epstein-Barr virus- and HIV-specific CD27− CD8+ T cells is associated with progression to viral disease in HIV-infection
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Despite readily detectable virus-specific CD8+ T cells in most HIV-infected patients, immune surveillance is eventually lost, leading to progression to AIDS. To investigate the underlying mechanism of this loss of immune control phenotypic analysis of HIV- and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific CD8+ T cells was performed.
