Increased IFN-γ production by NK and CD3+/CD56+ cells in sexually HIV-1-exposed but uninfected individuals

The mechanisms involved in controlling the establishment of HIV-1 infection are not fully understood. In particular, the role of innate immunity in natural resistance exhibited by individuals who are continuously exposed to HIV-1 but remain seronegative (ESN) has not been thoroughly evaluated. We de...
