Depletion of naive CD4 T cells by CXCR4-using HIV-1 variants occurs mainly through increased T-cell death and activation
30 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Using SCID-Hu mice models and in vitro culture systems, it has been shown that syncytium inducing/CXCR4 using (X4) HIV-1 variants affect thymic function through infection and killing of CXCR4 thymocytes. The effect of X4-emergence on naive, memory and effector T-cell subset kinetics in vivo is, however, not known. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. METHODS: Analysis of changes in naive, memory and...
