Persistence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1-Specific Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Clones in a Subject with Rapid Disease Progression
2001
We longitudinally measured T-cell receptor transcript frequencies of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in an individual with rapidly progressive disease and high levels of viremia. CTL clones elicited during acute HIV-1 infection were present at the time of death, despite absent functional CTL responses, arguing against clonal deletion as a mechanism for the decline of CTL responses observed during HIV-1 infection.
