Transcriptional down-regulation of ccr5 in a subset of HIV+ controllers and their family members [PDF]
eLife, 2019 HIV +Elite and Viremic controllers (EC/VCs) are able to control virus infection, perhaps because of host genetic determinants. We identified 16% (21 of 131) EC/VCs with CD4 +T cells with resistance specific to R5-tropic HIV, reversed after introduction ...

Establishment of a novel CCR5 and CXCR4 expressing CD4+ cell line which is highly sensitive to HIV and suitable for high-throughput evaluation of CCR5 and CXCR4 antagonists [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2004 Background CCR5 and CXCR4 are the two main coreceptors essential for HIV entry. Therefore, these chemokine receptors have become important targets in the search for anti-HIV agents.

Induction of CCL8/MCP-2 by mycobacteria through the activation of TLR2/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. [PDF]
, 2012 Pleural tuberculosis (TB), together with lymphatic TB, constitutes more than half of all extrapulmonary cases. Pleural effusions (PEs) in TB are representative of lymphocytic PEs which are dominated by T cells.

Specific Substitutions in Region V2 of gp120 env confer SHIV Neutralisation Resistance
Pathogens, 2020 A tier 2 SHIV-MK38 strain was obtained after two in vivo passages of tier 1 SHIV-MK1. SHIV-MK38#818, cloned from the MK38 strain, was neutralisation-resistant, like the parental MK38 strain, to SHIV-infected monkey plasma (MP), HIV-1-infected human ...

Accelerated in vivo proliferation of memory phenotype CD4+ T-cells in human HIV-1 infection irrespective of viral chemokine co-receptor tropism. [PDF]
, 2013 CD4(+) T-cell loss is the hallmark of HIV-1 infection. CD4 counts fall more rapidly in advanced disease when CCR5-tropic viral strains tend to be replaced by X4-tropic viruses.

Determination of HIV Tropism in Patients with Antiretroviral Therapy Failure in Arkhangelsk Region
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2022 The aim of the study was to determine the tropism of the human immunodeficiency virus in patients with virological failure of antiretroviral therapy (ART) from the Arkhangelsk Region based on the analysis of the env gene V3 loop nucleotide sequence ...

CCL5 activation of CCR5 regulates cell metabolism to enhance proliferation of breast cancer cells [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 In earlier studies, we showed that CCL5 enhances proliferation and survival of MCF-7 breast cancer cells in an mTOR-dependent manner and we provided evidence that, for T cells, CCL5 activation of CCR5 results in increased glycolysis and enhanced ATP ...
