SIV-specific CD8+ T cells express high levels of PD1 and cytokines but have impaired proliferative capacity in acute and chronic SIVmac251 infectionConstantinos Petrovas
Immunology Laboratory, Vaccine Research Center, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases NIH, 40 Convent Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Blood 110:928-36. 2007..Manipulation of the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands could thus potentially restore the CD8+ T-cell responses in SIV infection...
CD4 T follicular helper cell dynamics during SIV infectionConstantinos Petrovas
Vaccine Research Center, NIAID, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
J Clin Invest 122:3281-94. 2012..Therefore, chronic SIV does not disturb the ability of TFH cells to help B cell maturation and production of SIV-specific immunoglobulins...

Immunology Laboratory, Vaccine Research Center, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
J Immunol 183:1120-32. 2009..Thus, our data further support the role of PD-1 as a preapoptotic factor for CD8(+) T cells in HIV infection...
Virus inhibition activity of effector memory CD8(+) T cells determines simian immunodeficiency virus load in vaccinated monkeys after vaccine breakthrough infectionTakuya Yamamoto
Vaccine Research Center, NIAID, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
J Virol 86:5877-84. 2012..The ability to elicit such virus-specific EM CD8(+) T cells might contribute substantially to an efficacious HIV/AIDS vaccine, even after breakthrough infection...
Immune activation driven by CTLA-4 blockade augments viral replication at mucosal sites in simian immunodeficiency virus infectionValentina Cecchinato
Animal Models and Retroviral Vaccines Section, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892 5065, USA
J Immunol 180:5439-47. 2008..These data provide the first direct evidence that immune activation drives viral replication, and suggest caution in the use of therapeutic approaches for HIV infection in vivo that increase CD4(+) T cell proliferation...
Surface expression patterns of negative regulatory molecules identify determinants of virus-specific CD8+ T-cell exhaustion in HIV infectionTakuya Yamamoto
National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA
Blood 117:4805-15. 2011..Thus, multiple coinhibitory receptors can affect the development of HIV-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses and, by extension, represent potential targets for new immune-based interventions in HIV-infected persons...
