Association of MHC-I genotypes with disease progression in HIV/SIV infections
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are major effectors in acquired immune responses against viral infection. Virus-specific CTLs recognize specific viral peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex class-I (MHC-I) on the surface of virus-infected target cells via their T cell receptor (TCR) and eliminate target cells by both direct and indirect mechanisms. In human immunodeficiency virus...
