Protective immunity against HIV infection: lessons from HIV-2 infection

Sarah Rowland-Jones. Future Microbiol. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

Despite two decades of intensive research, the correlates of protective immunity to HIV-1 infection remain elusive. Much less attention has been paid to the related human virus strain, HIV-2, which can cause AIDS, but does not usually do so in the majority of infected people. What can be learned from HIV-2 infection about how the human host can peacefully coexist with a pathogenic retrovirus?
