Abstract:
The development of an effective HIV vaccine is still hampered by the lack of clearly defined immune correlates of HIV control. Although a number of immune markers have been associated over last years with relative viral control and slower HIV disease progression, these associations are oftentimes complicated by the causality dilemma that does not allow to directly assign cause or effect to the identified parameters. In addition, many of these immune markers may act in concert or represent surrogate makers for otherwise controlled HIV infection. This review will revisit the current knowledge of host genetic and immune markers and their associations with HIV control, particularly examining the roles of virus-specific T cells and humoral immune responses and testing their role as direct correlates of control.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
