We have measured in 22 asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus
type 1-infected patients (10 rapid progressors and 12 slow progressors)
the proviral load of CD4+ T cells homogeneously
superinfected by the same dose of a non-syncytium-inducing virus in the
presence or in the absence of autologous CD8+ T cells. We
demonstrated that the antiviral activity of CD8+ T cells
was highly predictive of the rate of peripheral CD4+ T-cell decline.
