Human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected women exhibit reduced interferon-gamma secretion after Chlamydia trachomatis stimulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes.
(2000)
Epidemiologic, animal, and in vitro models suggest an important role for interferon (IFN)-gamma in the clearance of Chlamydia trachomatis infection. IFN-gamma in the supernatants of in vitro-stimulated peripheral blood ...
Long-term survivors in Nairobi: complete HIV-1 RNA sequences and immunogenetic associations
(2004)
To investigate African long-term survivors (LTSs) infected with non-subtype B human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), we obtained full-length HIV-1 RNA sequences and immunogenetic profiles from 6 untreated women ...
HIV-1 neutralizing activity is correlated with increased levels of chemokines in saliva of HIV-1-exposed uninfected individuals.
(University of Nairobi,, 2008)
AIM:
Mucosal HIV-1 exposure stimulates a variety of mucosal immune responses, including IgA1-mediated virus neutralization, even in the absence of an established infection. We hypothesized that other immune molecules might ...
Mucosal and plasma IgA from HIV-exposed seronegative individuals neutralize a primary HIV-1 isolate.
(University of Nairobi, 2000)
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To characterize functional properties of HIV-specific IgA in samples representing both systemic and mucosal compartments of HIV-1 highly exposed persistently seronegative (HEPS) individuals.
METH ...
Recombination following superinfection by HIV-1.
(University of nairobi, 2004)
Background: There is increasing recognition of recombinant HIV-1 strains globally, but it has been unclear whether recombination results from superinfection during untreated, chronic infection.
Objective: To search for ...
Too young to take over: - the hidden face of HIV/AIDS : orphans and vulnerable children from a Kenyan perspective

Lymphocyte Subsets In Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1-infected And Uninfected Children In Nairobi.
(University of Nairobi, 2001-05-20)
Background: Reference lymphocyte subset values for African children are lacking. This study documents these values as well as their alterations associated with perinatal and postnatal HIV-1 transmission and with protection ...
