Natural killer-like cytotoxicity of human T-cell clones against various target cells.

abstract：:Telomeres are unique terminal chromosomal structures, the length of which has been shown to decrease with cell division in vitro and with increased age in vivo for human somatic cells. In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection, decrease of telomere length is primarily found in CD8+ T cells, and not in CD4+ T c...
