Restrictions to HIV-1 replication in resting CD4+ T lymphocytes
4 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
CD4(+) T lymphocytes represent the main target cell population of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In an activated state, CD4(+) T cells residing in lymphoid organs are a major reservoir of ongoing HIV-1 replication in infected individuals. In contrast, resting CD4(+) T cells are highly resistant to productive HIV-1 infection, yet are massively depleted during disease progression and represent a substantial...
