Expression of the CD8αβ-Heterodimer on CD8+ T Lymphocytes in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes of Human Immunodeficiency Virus− and Human Immunodeficiency Virus+Individuals

Abstract excerpt

CD8(+) T lymphocytes play a pivotal role in controlling human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 replication in vivo. We have performed four-color flow cytometric analysis of CD8(+) peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from 21 HIV-1 seronegative and 103 seropositive individuals to explore the phenotypic heterogeneity of CD8beta-chain expression on CD8(+) T lymphocytes and to clarify how its expression on CD8(+) T...
