Longitudinal assessment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific gamma interferon responses during the first year of life in HIV-1-infected infants.
(University of Nairobi., 2005-07)
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection results in different patterns of viral replication in pediatric compared to adult populations. The role of early HIV-1-specific responses in viral control has not been ...
High maternal HIV-1 viral load during pregnancy is associated with reduced placental transfer of measles IgG antibody.
(University of Nairobi., 2005-12)
BACKGROUND:
Studies among HIV-1-infected women have demonstrated reduced placental transfer of IgG antibodies against measles and other pathogens. As a result, infants born to women with HIV-1 infection may not acquire ...

CC and CXC chemokines in breastmilk are associated with mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission.
(University of Nairobi., 2005-10)
INTRODUCTION:
CC and CXC chemokines may play a role in mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission by blocking HIV-1 binding to chemokine receptors and impeding viral entry into cells.
METHODS:
To define correlates of breastmilk ...
