Specific Phenotypic and Functional Features of Natural Killer Cells From HIV-Infected Long-Term Nonprogressors and HIV Controllers
18 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in the HIV pathogenesis. Long-term nonprogressor (LTNP) and HIV controllers are rare HIV-infected patients who control viral replication and show delayed disease progression. They represent fascinating models of natural protection against disease progression and for studying the immunological response to the virus. METHODS: We...
