Human Interferon Regulatory Factor-1 Gene And Its Promoter Sequences Revealed By Population-based Complete Gene Sequencing.
(University of Nairobi, 2008-06)
Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) plays important roles in host immunity, cell proliferation and apoptosis. The current GenBank sequence for human IRF-1 (accession number: L05072) was derived from a human placenta DNA ...
Subtype-specific differences in gag-protease-driven replication capacity are consistent with inter-subtype differences in hiv-1 disease progression.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
There are marked differences in the spread and prevalence of HIV-1 subtypes worldwide, and differences in clinical progression have been reported. However, the biological reasons underlying these differences are unknown. ...
HIV-infected women have high numbers of CD103-CD8+ T cells residing close to the basal membrane of the ectocervical epithelium.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
BACKGROUND:
Genital mucosa is the main portal of entry for various incoming pathogens, including HIV, hence an important site for host immune defenses. Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells defend tissue barriers against ...
Potential biomarkers associated with discrimination between latent and active pulmonary tuberculosis.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
SETTING:
A third of the world's population has latent tuberculous infection (LTBI). Current TB diagnostics used in developing countries are ineffective and are unable to distinguish LTBI from active TB. Identifying ...
