Resistance to HIV-1 infection among African sex workers is associated with global hyporesponsiveness in interleukin 4 production.
(2001)
We previously identified HIV-1 resistant prostitutes who remain persistently HIV-1 PCR- and
antibody-negative despite continued heavy exposure to HIV-1 through sex work. We hypothesized
that differences in virus-specific ...
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 ...
Sequence and peptide-binding motif for a variant of HLA-A*0214 (A*02142) in an HIV-1-resistant individual from the Nairobi Sex Worker cohort
(Springer-Verlag, 2001)
As part of the ongoing study of natural HIV-1 resistance in the women of the Nairobi Sex Workers' study, we have examined a resistance-associated HLA class I allele at the molecular level. Typing by polymerase chain reaction ...
