Gonococcal Cervicitis Is Associated With Reduced Systemic Cd8+ T Cell Responses In Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1-infected And Exposed, Uninfected Sex Workers.
(University of Nairobi, 2002)
Neisseria gonorrhoeae cervicitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 frequently coinfect core transmitter populations, such as female sex workers. Gonococcal cervicitis is associated with increased viral shedding ...
CD8(+) Lymphocytes Respond To Different Hiv Epitopes In Seronegative And Infected Subjects.
(University of Nairobi, 2001-02)
HIV-1-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses have been detected at a low frequency in many HIV-1-exposed, persistently seronegative (HEPS) subjects. However, it is unclear how CTLs could protect against HIV ...
Human Leucocyte Antigen Supertypes And Immune Susceptibility To Hiv-1, Implications
(University of Nairobi, 2001-11-01)
CD8(+) lymphocytes respond to different HIV epitopes in seronegative and infected subjects.
(University of Nairobi, 2001-05)
HIV-1-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses have been detected at a low frequency in many HIV-1-exposed, persistently seronegative (HEPS) subjects. However, it is unclear how CTLs could protect against HIV ...
Mucosal and plasma IgA from HIV-1-exposed uninfected individuals inhibit HIV-1 523 transcytosis across human epithelial cells.
(2000)
Abstract
HIV-1-specific IgA has been described in the genital tract and plasma of HIV-1 highly exposed, persistently seronegative (HEPS) individuals, and IgA from these sites has been shown to neutralize HIV-1. This ...
HIV-1-specific mucosal CD8+ lymphocyte responses in the cervix of HIV-1-resistant prostitutes in Nairobi
(, 2000)
Understanding how individuals with a high degree of HIV exposure avoid persistent infection is paramount to HIV vaccine design. Evidence suggests that mucosal immunity, particularly virus-specific CTL, could be critically ...
