T cell dynamics in HIV-1 infection

DC Douek, LJ Picker, RA Koup - Annual review of immunology, 2003 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract In the absence of antiretroviral treatment, HIV-1 establishes a chronic, progressive

Viral immune evasion due to persistence of activated T cells without effector function

AJ Zajac, JN Blattman, K Murali-Krishna… - The Journal of …, 1998 - rupress.org
We examined the regulation of virus-specific CD8 T cell responses during chronic

Viral persistence alters CD8 T-cell immunodominance and tissue distribution and results in distinct stages of functional impairment

EJ Wherry, JN Blattman, K Murali-Krishna… - Journal of …, 2003 - Am Soc Microbiol
Chronic viral infections often result in ineffective CD8 T-cell responses due to functional
exhaustion or physical deletion of virus-specific T cells. However, how persisting virus …

Analysis of successful immune responses in persons infected with hepatitis C virus

F Lechner, DKH Wong, PR Dunbar… - The Journal of …, 2000 - rupress.org
Although hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is very common, identification of patients during
acute infection is rare. Consequently, little is known about the immune response during this …

CD8+ T-cell responses to different HIV proteins have discordant associations with viral load
