A common CD4 gene variant Is associated with an increased risk of HIV-1 infection in Kenyan female commercial sex workers
(2009)
It has been predicted that CD4 C868T, a novel CD4 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that has
been found to be highly prevalent among Africans, changes the tertiary structure of CD4, which may alter susceptibility to ...
Cervical HIV-specific IgA in a population of commercial sex workers correlates with repeated exposure but not resistance to HIV
(2009)
We conducted a comprehensive cross-sectional analysis of total and HIV-specific cervical antibody levels in HIV-
1-resistant, uninfected, and infected women in order to examine the role of HIV-specific antibody responses ...
HIV-1 RNA Dysregulates the natural TLR response to subclinical endotoxemia in Kenyan female sex-workers
(2009)
Subclinical endotoxemia has been reported in HIV-1 infected persons and may drive systemic immune
activation and pathogenesis. Proinflammatory responsiveness to endotoxin (LPS) is mediated by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).
We ...
