Immunopathogenesis of HIV infection

H Wigzell. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr (1988). 1988.

Abstract

HIV may cause CD4-positive T cell depletion not only by direct infection but by causing damage to normal maintenance mechanisms. Findings in support of such a concept are presented. Results suggesting that immune reactions against HIV may contain elements of a negative nature are presented, in particular in relation to viral enhancement by antibodies. A question is also raised whether HIV replication has been proved to be reduced in a significant manner by immune reactions.
