2 Abstract Background
cr ipt
Combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) effectively controls HIV infection but does not eliminate HIV and life-long treatment is therefore required. HIV-specific
other HIV-specific immune responses that may assist in eliminating latent HIV

infection, specifically antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent phagocytosis (ADP), are unclear. Methods
an
A cohort of 49 cART-naive HIV-infected subjects from Thailand (mean baseline CD4 count 188 cells/µl and mean viral load 5.4 log10 copies/ml) was followed for 96 weeks

after initiating cART. ADCC and ADP assays were performed using serum samples from baseline and after 96 weeks of cART. Results
