Insights into the interaction of CD4 with anti-CD4 antibodies
Knowledge about the mechanism by which some antibodies can block HIV-1 entry is critical to our understanding of their function and may offer new avenues for controlling the adhesion of HIV-1 to the host cells. While much progress has been made, this mechanism remains unclear.

Accelerated in vivo proliferation of memory phenotype CD4+ T-cells in human HIV-1 infection irrespective of viral chemokine co-receptor tropism. [PDF]
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.

Laboratory biomarkers and immunological modulation of sintilimab in gastric cancer: A meta-analysis focused on tumor markers and T-cell subsets [PDF]
Background: Sintilimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, has emerged as a promising immunotherapeutic agent in gastric cancer. However, its impact on laboratory-based biochemical markers and immune indicators remains underexplored.

Viewpoint: Why do we need a point-of-care CD4 test for low-income countries? [PDF]
In this paper, we discuss the reasons why we urgently need a point-of-care (POC) CD4 test, elaborate the problems we have experienced with the current technology which hampers CD4-count coverage and highlight the ideal characteristics of a universal CD4 ...

CD4 cell count recovery among HIV-infected patients with very advanced immunodeficiency commencing antiretroviral treatment in sub-Saharan Africa. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Patients accessing antiretroviral treatment (ART) programmes in sub-Saharan Africa frequently have very advanced immunodeficiency. Previous data suggest that such patients may have diminished capacity for CD4 cell count recovery.
