The cytokine network of acute HIV infection: a promising target for vaccines and therapy to reduce viral set-point? by Peter D Katsikis, Yvonne M Mueller, François Villinger

“…A number of studies conducted in recent years have indicated that cytokines of the acute/early stages of HIV and SIV infection can impact viral set-point months later, and this is of critical importance since viral set-point during chronic HIV infection affects virus transmission and disease progression. This raises the question whether modulating the cytokine environment during acute/early HIV infection can be a target for novel approaches to develop a vaccine and therapeutics. …”
