Recently, some individuals who have remained seronegative despite definite exposure to HIV-1 have been reported. Among these individuals, an unusually high frequency of HIV-1 Nef-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes was observed. Direct injection of plasmid DNA encoding foreign antigen can elicit both c

The level of expression of melanoma antigens (MA) may modulate the host immunologic response. Thus, the accurate measurement of MA expression may allow proper patient selection for antigen-specific therapies and yield important information for the evaluation of clinical results. In this study, we me
For some membrane-associated antigens, the number of molecules expressed per cell carries information about the cell's differentiation and activation state. Quantitating antigen expression by flow cytometry has immediate application in monitoring CD38 expression on CD8 ؉ T cells in human immunodefic
The HIV-1 Nef protein down-modulates surface expression of MHC class I proteins. Primary infected T lymphocytes thus escape lysis by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). In contrast, during HIV-1 infection there are strong CTL responses to several HIV proteins, and there is mounting evidence that CTL are
