Frequency and cytokine profile of HPRT mutant T cells in HIV-infected and healthy donors: implications for T cell proliferation in HIV disease

It has been postulated that HIV-infected patients undergo an active production of virus and CD4+ T cell destruction from the early stages of the disease, and that an extensive postthymic expansion of CD4+ T cells prevents a precipitous decline in CD4+ T cell number. Based on the rebound of the CD4+...
