Immediate Activation Fails To Rescue Efficient Human Immunodeficiency Virus Replication in Quiescent CD4+T Cells
18 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Unlike activated T cells, quiescent CD4+ T cells have shown resistance to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection due to a block in the early events of the viral life cycle. To further investigate the nature of this block, we infected quiescent CD4+ T cells with HIV-1(NL4-3) and immediately stimulated them. Compared to activated (prestimulated) cells, these poststimulated cells showed slightly decreased...
