Epitope cross-reactivity frequently differs between central and effector memory HIV-specific CD8+ t cells1
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2007-03)HIV diversity may limit the breadth of vaccine coverage due to epitope sequence differences between strains. Although amino acid substitutions within CD8+ T cell HIV epitopes can result in complete or partial abrogation ... -
Inflammation and HIV transmission in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2015-04)While the per-contact risk of sexual HIV transmission is relatively low, it is fourfold higher in sub-Saharan Africa, and this may partly explain the major global disparities that exist in HIV prevalence. Genital immune ... -
Evaluation of a quantitative real-time PCR assay to measure HIV-specific mucosal CD8+ T cell responses in the cervix
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2010-10)Several candidate HIV vaccines aim to induce virus-specific cellular immunity particularly in the genital tract, typically the initial site of HIV acquisition. However, standardized and sensitive methods for evaluating ... -

Repeat use of post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV among Nairobi-based female sex workers following sexual exposure
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2015-05)As ART-based prevention becomes available, effectively targeting these interventions to key populations such as female sex workers (FSW) will be critical. In this study we analyze patterns of repeated post-exposure prophylaxis ... -
Occupational exposure to roadway emissions and inside informal settlements in sub-Saharan Africa: A pilot study in Nairobi, Kenya
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2015)Few studies examine urban air pollution in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), yet urbanization rates there are among the highest in the world. In this study, we measured 8-hr average occupational exposure levels of fine particulate ... -

Donating human samples: who benefits? Cases from iceland, Kenya and Indonesia
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2013-06)Benefit sharing involving human genetic resources is an unresolved topic. Some argue that participation in scientific research should always be altruistically motivated, which is how access to human genetic resources has ... -
Dimensional analysis of selected linear and curved measurements of human and baboon brains
(University of Nairobi, 2015-02-11)Brains of primates show morphometric differences that may be influenced by the process of functional complexity, evolution and adaptation. Comparative topographic measurements of the primate brains have been used to ... -
Functional Adaptability of the Tunica Media of the Atriopulmonary Junction
(University of Nairobi, 2015)Introduction: The histoarchitecture of the tunica media of the Atriopulmonary Junction (APJ) has not been extensively studied and yet the tunica media is the backbone, which provides the structural strength for optimum ... -

Acute abdominal aortic rupture in a Mare on transit
(University of Nairobi, 2015)External parasites are regarded as the basic causes of retardation in growth, poor conditions and lowered production in free-range chickens. However, information is lacking on the occurrence of external parasites of ... -
Identification of preferential CD4+ T-cell targets for HIV infection in the cervix.
(University of Nairobi, 2015-05)A better understanding of the cellular targets of HIV infection in the female genital tract may inform HIV prevention efforts. Proposed correlates of cellular susceptibility include the HIV co-receptor CCR5, peripheral ...
