IFNA1 and HIV infectious disease: More notably apoptosis stimulated by IFN-I has been proposed as a mechanism to explain non-infected bystander CD4+ T-cells depletion and disease progression in HIV infection [1, 60, 61, 68, 92, 96]: in vitro, HIV-1 gp120(SU) in the membrane of infected CD4+ T-cells stimulates the production of IFN in dendritic cells, which induces the expression of TRAIL by infected and non-infected CD4+ T-cells [61].
