Epitope Mapping of HIV-Specific CD8+ T cells in a Cohort Dominated by Clade A1 Infection
(2009)
Background
CD8+ T cell responses are often detected at large magnitudes in HIV-infected subjects, and eliciting these responses is the central aim of many HIV-1 vaccine strategies. Population differences in CD8+ T cell ...
Clade specific evolution mediated by HLA-B*57/5801 in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Clade A1 p24
(2009)
HLA-B*57-mediated selection pressure leads to a typical escape pathway in human immunodeficiency virus
type 1 (HIV-1) CD8 epitopes such as TW10. Whether this T242N pathway is shared by all clades remains
unknown. We ...
The HAART cell phone adherence trial (WelTel Kenya1): a randomized controlled trial protocol
(2009)
Background
The objectives are to compare the effectiveness of cell phone-supported SMS messaging to standard care on adherence, quality of life, retention, and mortality in a population receiving antiretroviral therapy ...
Multiplex detection of bacteria associated with normal microbiota and with bacterial vaginosis in vaginal swabs by use of oligonucleotide-coupled fluorescent
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2009-12)
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a recurrent condition that is associated with a range of negative outcomes, including the acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus and other sexually transmitted diseases, preterm births, and ...
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 ...
The HAART cell phone adherence trial (WelTel Kenya1): a randomized controlled trial protocol
(2009)
The objectives are to compare the effectiveness of cell phone-supported SMS
messaging to standard care on adherence, quality of life, retention, and mortality in a population
receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in ...
Multiplex detection of bacteria associated with normal microbiota and with bacterial vaginosis in vaginal swabs by use of oligonucleotide-coupled fluorescent microspheres
(2009)
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a recurrent condition that is associated with a range of negative outcomes,
including the acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus and other sexually transmitted diseases,
preterm births, ...
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 ...
