How HIV evades CTL recognition.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 occurs in a minority of HIVinfected mother-infant pairs, even without any interventions. The mechanisms that protect the majority of HIV-exposed infants from infection are unclear. T regulatory cells (Treg) have important immunomodulatory functions, but their role in the...
