Coregulation of CD8+ T cell exhaustion by multiple inhibitory receptors during chronic viral infection

TL;DR: It is shown that exhausted CD8+ T cells are subject to complex layers of negative regulation resulting from the coexpression of multiple inhibitory receptors, and regulation of T cell exhaustion by various inhibitory pathways was nonredundant.

T-cell quality in memory and protection: implications for vaccine design

TL;DR: The importance of using multiparameter flow cytometry to better understand the functional capacity of effector and memory T-cell responses, thereby enabling the development of preventative and therapeutic vaccine strategies for infections is highlighted.

Temporal association of cellular immune responses with the initial control of viremia in primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 syndrome.

TL;DR: It is suggested that cellular immunity is involved in the initial control of virus replication in primary HIV-1 infection and a role for CTL in protective immunity to HIV- 1 in vivo is indicated.

Virus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte activity associated with control of viremia in primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection.

TL;DR: HIV-1-specific CTL activity is a major component of the host immune response associated with the control of virus replication following primary HIV-1 infection and have important implications for the design of antiviral vaccines.

Sensitive and viable identification of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells by a flow cytometric assay for degranulation

TL;DR: A novel technique to enumerate antigen-specific CD8+ T cells using a marker expressed on the cell surface following activation induced degranulation, a necessary precursor of cytolysis, and CD107-expressing CD8+, expressing cognate T cell receptors (TCR), is presented.

Quantitation of HIV-1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes and plasma load of viral RNA.

TL;DR: With the use of the tetrameric complexes, a significant inverse correlation was observed between HIV-specific CTL frequency and plasma RNA viral load and suggest a considerable cytopathic effect of the virus in vivo.
