Definition
English
:
A critical subpopulation of
T-lymphocytes
involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The
HIV
virus has selective
tropism
for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for
HIV
. In fact, the key element in the profound
immunosuppression
seen in
HIV
infection
is the depletion of this subset of
T-lymphocytes.
