Crosslinking CD4 by human immunodeficiency virus gp120 primes T cells for activation-induced apoptosis.
1 Oct 1992
Abstract excerpt
During human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection there is a profound and selective decrease in the CD4+ population of T lymphocytes. The mechanism of this depletion is not understood, as only a small fraction of all CD4+ cells appear to be productively infected with HIV-1 in seropositive individuals. In the present study, crosslinking of bound gp120 on human CD4+ T cells followed by signaling through the T...
