Efficient protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis by vaccination with a single subdominant epitope from the ESAT-6 antigen.

abstract：:The pathogenesis of the decline of CD4 lymphocyte counts accompanying the typical course of HIV-1 infection is not completely defined and might be related to a differential susceptibility of naive and memory cells to HIV-1 exposure. Here, we examined the effects induced by heat-inactivated HIV-1 virions on these lymph...
