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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Identification of a novel HLA B*57 restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitope within HIV-1 rev
(University of Nairobi,, 2006)
HLA-B5701 and its related allele B5703 have been shown to be strongly associated with slow HIV-1 disease progression. To elucidate the effect of these alleles fully on disease progression it is essential to identify key ...
