HIV-specific cytotoxic T cells from long-term survivors select a unique T cell receptor.

HIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are important in controlling HIV replication, but the magnitude of the CTL response does not predict clinical outcome. In four donors with delayed disease progression we identified Vbeta13.2 T cell receptors (TCRs) with very similar and unusually long beta-...
