Evaluation of a quantitative real-time PCR assay to measure HIV-specific mucosal CD8+ T Cell responses in the cervix
(2010)
Several candidate HIV vaccines aim to induce virus-specific cellular immunity particularly in the genital tract, typically the
initial site of HIV acquisition. However, standardized and sensitive methods for evaluating ...
Preventing HIV-1 Infection, More Epitope Is Not Better: Analysis of Gag Epitope of 2 HLA Alleles Associated with Different Outcome of HIV Infection
(2012)
Background: Current HIV vaccine candidates have been based on
the conventional views of viral infection and attempt to induce
broad T cell responses to HIV-1. Until now, the candidate vaccines
based on such approach ...
Blunted IL17/IL22 and pro-inflammatory cytokine responses in the genital tract and blood of HIV Exposed, seronegative female sex workers in Kenya
(2012)
Identifying the immune correlates of reduced susceptibility to HIV remains a key goal for the HIV vaccine field, and individuals who are HIV-exposed, seronegative (HESN) may offer important clues. Reduced systemic immune ...

(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Identifying the immune correlates of reduced susceptibility to HIV remains a key goal for the HIV vaccine field, and individuals who are HIV-exposed, seronegative (HESN) may offer important clues. Reduced systemic immune ...

For protection from HIV-1 infection, more might not be better: a systematic analysis of HIV Gag epitopes of two alleles associated with different outcomes of HIV-1 infection
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2011)
A subset of women in the Pumwani Sexworker cohort, established in 1985 in Nairobi, Kenya, remains uninfected despite repeated high-risk exposure(HESN) through active sex work. This HESN phenotype is associated with several ...
