Long-term survivors in Nairobi: complete HIV-1 RNA sequences and immunogenetic associations
(2004)
To investigate African long-term survivors (LTSs) infected with non-subtype B human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), we obtained full-length HIV-1 RNA sequences and immunogenetic profiles from 6 untreated women ...
Recombination following superinfection by HIV-1.
(University of nairobi, 2004)
Background: There is increasing recognition of recombinant HIV-1 strains globally, but it has been unclear whether recombination results from superinfection during untreated, chronic infection.
Objective: To search for ...
Construction of an infectious HIV type 1 molecular clone from an African patient with a subtype D/C Recombinant Virus.
(2004)
The majority of HIV-1 infections worldwide occur in Africa, where subtype B viruses are rare and intersubtype recombinants are common. Pathogenesis and vaccine studies need to focus on viruses derived from African patients, ...
Influence of HLA supertypes on susceptibility and resistance to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection.
(, 2000-05)
Certain human leukocyte antigens, by presenting conserved immunogenic epitopes for T cell recognition, may, in part, account for the observed differences in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) susceptibility. To ...
