Abstract
In the majority of patients, HIV-1 replication is quickly and efficien tly controlled after the initial burst of viremia. Recent studies have begun to elucidate the underlying immune responses that may be respon sible for this dramatic reduction in viral load. These responses inclu de those of HIV-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes and antibodies capable of binding the virus.
