Abstract
The definition of immune correlates of protection in HIV-1 infection is pivotal to the design of successful vaccine candidates and strategies. Although significant methodological and conceptual strides have been made in our understanding of HIV-specific cellular immunity, we have not yet defined those parameters that have a role in controlling the spread of HIV infection. This review discusses the basis of our understanding of HIV-specific cellular immunity and identifies its shortcomings. Furthermore, potential protective characteristics will be proposed that may ultimately be required for an effective vaccine designed to stimulate cellular immunity against HIV-1.Entities:
