CD26/ dipeptidyl peptidase IV (CD26/DPPIV) is highly expressed in peripheral blood of HIV-1 exposed uninfected Female sex workers
(2010-11-25)
Abstract
Background
Design of effective vaccines against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) continues to present formidable challenges. However, individuals who are exposed HIV-1 but do not get infected may reveal ...
Effect of Baseline HIV Disease Parameters on CD4+ T Cell Recovery After Antiretroviral Therapy Initiation in Kenyan Women
(2010)
Background
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV infection reconstitutes the immune system and improves survival. However, the rate and extent of CD4+ T cell recovery varies widely. We assessed the impact of several ...
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 ...
