TL;DR
Increasing viral burden in peripheral blood CD4+ T-cells is directly associated with a progressive decline in CD4- T cells and deteriorating clinical course in HIV-infected patients.

NatureT-lymphocyte T4 molecule behaves as the receptor for human retrovirus LAV
2,418 Citations1984David Klatzmann, Éric Champagne +6 more
Preincubation of T4+ lymphocytes with three individual monoclonal antibodies directed at the T4 glycoprotein blocked cell infection by LAV, strongly support the view that a surface molecule directly involved in cellular functions acts as, or is related to, the receptor for a human retrovirus.
ScienceThe Human Immunodeficiency Virus: Infectivity and Mechanisms of Pathogenesis
1,495 Citations1988Anthony S. Fauci
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus results in a profound immunosuppression due predominantly to a selective depletion of helper/inducer T lymphocytes that express the receptor for the virus (the CD4 molecule).

ScienceDNA Amplification for Direct Detection of HIV-1 in DNA of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
980 Citations1988Chin‐Yih Ou, Shirley Kwok +7 more
This method of DNA amplification made it possible to obtain results within 3 days, whereas virus isolation takes up to 3 to 4 weeks, and may therefore be used to complement or replace virus isolation as a routine means of determining HIV-1 infection.
ScienceSelective Tropism of Lymphadenopathy Associated Virus (LAV) for Helper-Inducer T Lymphocytes
967 Citations1984David Klatzmann, Françoise Barré‐Sinoussi +9 more
Virus production was associated with impaired proliferation, modulation of T3-T4 cell markers, and the appearance of cytopathic effects, providing evidence for the involvement of LAV in AIDS.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesDetection of lymphocytes expressing human T-lymphotropic virus type III in lymph nodes and peripheral blood from infected individuals by in situ hybridization.
730 Citations1986Mary‐Ellen Harper, Lisa M. Marselle +2 more
It is demonstrated that HTLV-III expression in lymph node and peripheral blood is very low in vivo and the lymph node hyperplasia observed in HT LV-III-associated lymphadenopathy is not directly due to proliferation of HTLV -III-infected lymphocytes.
ScienceThe Reservoir for HIV-1 in Human Peripheral Blood Is a T Cell That Maintains Expression of CD4
721 Citations1989Steven Schnittman, Miltiades C. Psallidopoulos +7 more
High level of infection with HIV-1 may be the primary cause for the progressive decline in number and function of CD4+ T cells in patients with AIDS.

710 Citations1986
A classification system for patients with the spectrum of clinical and laboratory findings attributable to human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV) is presented, primarily for public health purposes.
New England Journal of MedicinePlasma Viremia in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
565 Citations1989Robert W. Coombs, Ann C. Collier +5 more
It is concluded that plasma viremia is a more sensitive virologic marker of the clinical stage of HIV infection and viral replication than the presence of p24 antigen or antibody in plasma.

548 Citations1989Kathleen A. Clouse, David Powell +8 more
A T cell clone (ACH-2) derived from T cells infected with HIV-2 was found to produce HIV-1 in response to stimulation with a monokine-enriched supernatant prepared by culturing human monocyte/macrophages with bacterial LPS (LPS-MO SN).

536 Citations1985J. Steven McDougal, Alison C. Mawle +6 more
It is concluded that T4+ T cells are the major target for HTLV-III/LAV replication, that this tropism is related to expression of the T4 antigen that serves as a binding site for virus, that infection is inexorable in T4- T cells regardless of subset or activation state, and that the activation/proliferative state of the cells is not a necessary determinant of infectivity.

In a cohort of 1835 homosexual men who were seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on entry into a prospective study, the acquired immunodficiency syndrome (AIDS) developed in 59 during a median follow-up of 15 months.
Annual Review of ImmunologyImmunologic Abnormalities in the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
379 Citations1985H. Clifford Lane, Anthony S. Fauci
The immune systems of patients with AIDS are characterized by a profound defect in cell-mediated immunity which is predominantly due to a decrease in the number and function of the helper/inducer T lymphocytes, particularly the antigen-reactive cells.
ScienceAlterations in T4 (CD4) Protein and mRNA Synthesis in Cells Infected with HIV
341 Citations1986James A. Hoxie, James D. Alpers +5 more
The data suggested that the T4 protein produced after infection may be complexed with viral envelope gene products within infected cells, and may participate in a general mechanism by which receptors for retroviruses are down-modulated and alterations in cellular function develop after infection.

Recently developed nucleic acid amplification and oligonucleotide-based detection procedures for the identification of HIV sequences in established infected cell lines and in cells cultured from infected individuals are reported on.

Many abnormalities of humoral and cellular immunity associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome can be explained by the preferential infection of the T4 lymphocyte subset with t4 lymphocytes, and this work reports the first clear cases of this type of preferential infection in humans.

A continuous human T-cell line for the study of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated retrovirus that mimics normal peripheral blood lymphocytes in susceptibility to viral cytopathic effect without the need for cell activation or conditioned medium is developed.

Several of 40 potential cofactors defined ex post facto, including receptive fellatio, enemas, methaqualone use, and high levels of antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen, appeared to be associated with Kaposi's sarcoma but not with Pneumocystis pneumonia.

154 Citations1989Miltiades C. Psallidopoulos, S. Schnittman +5 more
It is found that the CD4+ T-cell subset is the cell subset that consistently harbors the HIV-1 proviral sequences and this disparity may reflect differences between a latent infection in vivo with the lytic response of cells infected in vitro.
