Popis: HLA-A*02 tetramers complexed to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Gag SLYNTVATL and HIV Pol ILKEPVHGV peptides were used to characterize HLA class I-restricted CD8(+) T cells in 41 HIV-infected children. The frequencies and the phenotype of specific circulating CD8(+) T cells were determined in whole-blood samples by means of cytometric analysis. Background staining of 13 HLA-A*02-negative patients showed that the frequency of CD8(+) T cells was
