Acquiredimmunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is charac¬ terized by the slow deterioration of the immune system, believed to result from the loss of CD4+ lymphocytes, the major target cell of the virus. This effect is most dramatically demon¬ strated by the development of a variety of opportunistic infec¬ tions and certain types of cancers in the host.'The outcome of HIV. infection is conceivably influenced by many factors, including (1) characteristics of the virus, such as host range, replicative ability, cytopathicity, and its ability to mutate;(2) the immune response, both humoral and cellular; and (3) the genetic makeup of the individual that may influence the susceptibility of cells to virus infection and the extent and specificity of the immune reaction to the virus. Of particular interest is how the virus persists in the host despite apparently normal immune responses against it. The majority of HIV-infected individuals mount, at least during the early stages of infection, an antibody response that is capable of neutralizing the virus, 2'3 as well as mediating antibody-depen¬ dent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) 4" 6 and complement-depen¬ dent lysis of infected cells. 7· 8 Most of the classicalcell-mediated mechanisms have also been found present during HIV infection, including natural killer (NK) cell activity, 9· 10 ADCC mediated by macrophages and NK cells, 4" 6 and CD8+ T-cell effector functions."·'2 In regard to the latter, antigen-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL), normally important in combating viral infections, are readily detectable in HIV infection. They have been demonstrated in various tissues and are capable of lysing target cells expressing HIV proteins including env, gag, pol, nef, and ví/. 11· 13" 15
