## Abstract Excessive immune activation is a hallmark of chronic uncontrolled HIV infection. During the past years, growing evidence suggests that immune inhibitory signals also play an important role in progressive disease. However, the relationship between positive and negative immune signals on

## Abstract HIVβ1βspecific CD8^+^ T cells are present in most HIVβ1βinfected people and play an important role in controlling viral replication, but the characteristics of an effective HIVβspecific Tβcell response are largely unknown. The majority of HIVβ2βinfected people behave as longβterm nonβpr
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 Ψ T cells in human immunodefic
