Abstract excerpt
An attempt is made to summarize the evidence that humoral immune responses in natural HIV-1 infection play a role in clearance of the initial burst of replication as well as in protection against rapid disease progression. Therefore, the so-called "asymptomatic carrier state" was defined on the basis of immunological characteristics, such as CD4+ cell number, CD45RA-CD29+ cell number, CD4+ proliferative responses...
