## Abstract Recent studies indicate that a defective proliferative response of HIV‐specific CD8+ T cells is associated with the lack of virologic control in chronic HIV infection in humans. The possible mechanisms that might be responsible for the reduced proliferative potential of HIV‐specific CD8

## Abstract The role of T‐cells in clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) during acute infection is critical. The relevance of the immunological response in the control of HCV replication is less clear in chronic HCV infection. HCV‐specific T‐cell responses were examined in 92 interferon‐naive indivi
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) has been used successfully to increase CD4 cell counts in patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. The mechanisms involved in this phenomenon are unknown. We hypothesized that a differential proliferation rate of CD4+ compared wit
## BACKGROUND. Recent studies have reported an increased incidence of squamous intraepithelial lesions in women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, to the authors' knowledge there are scarce data regarding the relation between the CD4 T-lymphocyte count (CD4ϩ), HIV viral
To determine changes in subsets of CD4 and CD8 in relation to HIV infection and progression to AIDS, we quantitated peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from 17 heterosexual controls, 22 asymptomatic HIV-seronegative and 18 HIV-seropositive intravenous drug users, 50 patients with AIDS-related comp
