摘要: To avoid detection by CTL, HIV encodes mechanisms for removal of class I MHC proteins from the surface infected cells. However, downregulation potentially exposes virus-infected cell to attack NK Human lymphoid cells are protected cytotoxicity primarily HLA-C and HLA-E. We present evidence that HIV-1 selectively downregulates HLA-A HLA-B but does not significantly affect or then identify residues in HLA-E protect them down-regulation. This selective allows HIV-infected cell-mediated lysis may represent a balance between escape CTL maintenance protection These results suggest subpopulations be uniquely suited combating HIV.
