CD8<sup>+</sup> Cytotoxic-T-Lymphocyte Breadth Could Facilitate Early Immune Detection of Immunodeficiency Virus-Derived Epitopes with Limited Expression Levels
ABSTRACT Cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses are important to control the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). Accumulating evidence suggests that the ability of a few immunodominant T-cell populations to detect and kill HIV/SIV-infected cells...
