Abstract excerpt
HIV frequently escapes CD8 T cell responses, leading to the accumulation of viral adaptations. We recently demonstrated that during chronic HIV infection, adapted epitopes can promote maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) through direct CD8 T cell interactions and lead to enhanced HIV trans-infection of CD4 T cells. Here, we sought to determine the role of such adaptations following HIV MRKAd5 vaccination. We...
