Table 1 Genes relevant to HIV or T cell biology

Anti-HIV-1 activity [39]

An HIV-suppressive factor produced by activated CD8⁺ T cells [59]

HIV-1 Tat binds EGRs and induces FasL up-regulation [60]

A zinc finger protein regulating transcription via the kappa-B enhancer motif [61]

Correlates with CD4⁺ T cell depletion in HIV-infected patients [37]

Enhances HIV-1 replication [40]

Inhibits HIV-1 replication [41]

Induce HIV-1 transcription and replication [42]

Cell activation markers

Involved in MAPK pathway [62–65]

Involved in p53-mediated apoptosis [66]

Inhibits proliferation of activated T lymphocytes, induces programmed cell death [67]

T cell quiescence [35]

Involved in T cell activation [68]

Involved in T cell activation, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects [69, 70]
