The role of CD8+ T-cell responses in the pathogenesis of HIV-2, a naturally contained human retroviral infection
Section snippets
Abstract
Background: While a significant proportion of HIV-2-infected individuals are asymptomatic and maintain undetectable viral loads (controllers), 15-20% progress to AIDS and are predicted by detectable viraemia. Identifying immune correlates that distinguish these two groups should provide insights into how a potentially pathogenic retrovirus can be naturally controlled.
Methods: We performed a detailed study of HIV-2-specific cellular responses in a unique community cohort in Guinea-Bissau
