High levels of resistance to challenge with human immunodeficiency
virus type 1 SF162 were observed in animals engrafted with peripheral
blood mononuclear cells of four long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs).
Resistance was abrogated by depletion of CD8+ T cells in
vivo and was observed only in LTNPs with proliferative responses to
p24. In a subgroup of nonprogressors, CD8+ T cells mediated
restriction of challenge viruses, and this response was associated with
strong proliferative responses to p24 antigen.
