Identification and characterization of HLA-A*0301 epitopes in HIV-1 gag proteins using a novel approach
(2010-01)
Identification of CTL epitopes correlated to immune protection is important for the development of vaccines that enhance T-cell mediated immune responses. The correlation of positively selected amino acids (PS) of HIV-1 ...
HIV-Exposed seronegative commercial sex workers show a quiescent phenotype in the CD4+ T cell compartment and reduced expression of HIV-dependent host factors
(2010)
Studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–exposed seronegative individuals are crucial to informvaccine
design. In the present study we demonstrated that HIV-exposed seronegative commercial sex workers produce
lower ...
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 ...
HIV viral set point and host immune control in individuals with HIV-specific CD8R T-cell responses prior to HIV acquisition
(2010)
OBJECTIVE:
Vaccine-induced CD8(+) T-cell responses in primates have been associated with a reduced simian immunodeficiency virus plasma viral load and enhanced T-cell responses, but cellular vaccines have shown limited ...
