Abstract excerpt
The immunopathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection has been associated with increased death by apoptosis of T cell subsets. In the present study, we have examined correlates of apoptosis of CD4+, CD8S+CD28+, and CD8+CD28- T cells in tonsillar lymphoid tissue in person...
