HIV accessory protein disables host immunity via receptor-protein intermediary
...cked out and found that their cells were immune to sepsis (pathogens and their toxins in the blood), because the NF-kB molecules did not go into overdrive, kicking up inflammatory molecules called cytokines.

...people who lack the gene are better able to resist sepsis than those who have a working copy. "This is another indication that loss of the gene would be good for the individual, but it doesn't show that the gene became a pseudogene because of that advantage."
