Peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocytes from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals suppress replication of HIV in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). This anti-viral activity appears to be mediated in part by a diffusible factor. Production of this lymphokine varies among infected individuals and may reflect the intrinsic ability of an individual's CD8+ cells to control HIV infection. In some cases in which factor activity is not apparent, contact of the CD8+ cells with infected CD4+ cells can produce for suppression of virus replication. These observations could lead to approaches for enhancing anti-viral responses in HIV-infected individuals.
来自人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者的外周血CD8 + T淋巴细胞可抑制HIV在外周血单核细胞(PBMC)中的复制。这种抗病毒活性似乎部分由一种可扩散因子介导。这种淋巴因子的产生在受感染个体中各不相同,可能反映了个体CD8 +细胞控制HIV感染的内在能力。在某些因子活性不明显的情况下,CD8 +细胞与受感染的CD4 +细胞接触可产生病毒复制抑制作用。这些观察结果可能会带来增强HIV感染者抗病毒反应的方法。
