Escape mutations in HIV infection and its impact on CD8+ T cell responses.

Abstract excerpt

Cellular immune responses play an important role in the control of HIV replication. Although clear evidence exists on its influence during acute HIV infection, its role during the chronic phase of the disease remains controversial. This review describes the cellular immune responses elicited against HIV mediated by CD8(+) T lymphocytes, and the mechanisms by which these cells are inefficient to completely control...
