The impact of HIV on naïve T-cell homeostasis (original) (raw)

Nature Medicine volume 6, pages 976–977 (2000)Cite this article

Correlational data and mathematical modeling suggest that increased division rate of naïve T cells, not reduced thymic output, lowers the frequency of original thymic emigration among these cells in HIV infected individuals. But are there alternate explanations for these data? (pages 1036–1042)
