Direct ex vivo analysis reveals distinct phenotypic patterns of HIV-specific CD8(+) T lymphocyte activation in response to therapeutic manipulation of virus load.

Therapeutic intervention with antiretroviral therapy (ART) enables the modulation of HIV virus load and hence provides a unique opportunity to study the consequences of varying antigen load on the phenotype of virus-specific CD8(+) T lymphocytes in a persistent human viral infection. The recent adve...
