Saturated lysing efficiency of CD8+ cells induced monostable, bistable and oscillatory HIV kinetics by Shilian Xu

“…For a given CD8+ cell count, a low CD8+ cell lysing rate and a high saturation effect led to monostability to a high viral titre, and a low CD8+ cell lysing rate and a low saturation effect triggered periodic oscillations; this explained why patients with a non-protective HLA allele were always associated with a high viral titer and exhibited bad infection control. On the other hand, a high CD8+ cell lysing rate led to bistability and monostability to a low viral titer; this explained why protective HLA alleles are not always associated with good HIV infection outcomes. …”
