The role of dendritic cells in determining the breadth and epitope specificity of the initial CD8+ T cell response during acute HIV-1 infection

During acute HIV-1 infection (AHI), CD8+ T cell responses are initially induced to only 1-3 viral epitopes in many patients, and Nef-derived epitopes are very commonly targeted. The earliest CD8+ T cell responses decrease in magnitude as viraemia begins to decline, and are followed by delayed expans...
