CD107a as a functional marker for the identification of natural killer cell activity

TL;DR: It is suggested that employing CD107a as a marker of NK cell functional activity may allow for the identification of a large fraction of activated NK cells that may degranulate in the absence of cytokine secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The major genetic determinants of HIV-1 control affect HLA class I peptide presentation

Florencia Pereyra, +336 more
- 10 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: Differences in binding to viral peptide antigens by HLA may be the major factors underlying genetic differences between HIV controllers and progressors, and genome-wide association results implicate the nature of the HLA–viral peptide interaction as the major factor modulating durable control of HIV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune control of HIV-1 after early treatment of acute infection

TL;DR: It is shown that, despite rebound in viraemia, all subjects were able to achieve at least a transient steady state off therapy with viral load below 5,000 RNA copies per ml, suggesting that functional immune responses can be augmented in a chronic viral infection.
