CD7 expression distinguishes subsets of CD4(+) T cells with distinct functional properties and ability to support replication of HIV-1.
Enrichment of a subset of CD4(+)CD45R0(+)CD7(-) T cells has been observed in HIV-infected individuals. We have investigated the ability of CD7(+) and CD7(-) T cells to support replication of HIV and show that virus replicates preferentially in CD7(+) cells. Several possible mechanisms that may under...
