Abstract excerpt
HIV-1-infected persons with HLA-B27 and -B57 alleles commonly remain healthy for decades without antiretroviral therapy. Properties of CD8+ T cells restricted by these alleles considered to confer disease protection in these individuals are elusive but important to understand and potentially elicit by vaccination. To address this, we compared CD8+ T cell function induced by HIV-1 immunogens and natural infection...
