How can you use “hiv-specific” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In one individual (AC-06), HIV-1 superinfection in the setting of strong and broadly directed HIV-specific cellular immune responses was associated with the loss of viral control, as previously reported [29].
For detection of HIV-specific proteins, the same protocol was used except that cells were initially incubated with human HIV-1 serum from Waldheim Pharmazeutika Ges.m.b.H.
Other studies indicated that HIV-specific CD4+ T cells were being preferentially infected, often massively, during treatment interruptions [6], and that proliferative responses were more likely to be a consequence—rather than a cause—of decreased HIV replication [7].
It remains to be determined how much this adversely affects the HIV-specific immune response, and whether an immune response generated by vaccination before any HIV replication (a prophylactic vaccine) might be better able to control virus replication.
Interestingly, the increase in CD8 T cell number also corresponded with an increase in HIV-specific responses as measured by interferon-gamma expression (data not shown), which in light of an absence of effect on viral load between arms further supports that TI strategies alone may not significantly alter the pre-existing balance between viral replication and host antiviral responses [14,16,23,24].
