SO Immunodeficiency. 1993;5(1):23-32. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/94221173 AB Recently much has been elucidated about the role of CD8 cells in HIV infection. Different mechanisms by which CD8 cells are able to control HIV infection have been observed. These mechanisms may be able to positively influence the duration of the asymptomatic period of HIV infection. The implications of studies on CD8 cells in HIV infected individuals as well as clinical applications of these findings are discussed.
