The Protective HIV-1 Envelope gp41 Antigen P1 Acts as a Mucosal Adjuvant Stimulating the Innate Immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Mucosal nasal vaccine development, although ideal to protect from pathogens invading mucosally, is limited by the lack of specific adjuvant. We recently used P1, a conserved region of HIV-1 gp41-envelope glycoprotein, as efficient antigen in a ...

HIV infection and stroke:current perspectives and future directions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
HIV infection can result in stroke via several mechanisms, including opportunistic infection, vasculopathy, cardioembolism, and coagulopathy. However, the occurrence of stroke and HIV infection might often be coincidental.

Vaccine- and Breakthrough Infection-Elicited Pre-Omicron Immunity More Effectively Neutralizes Omicron BA.1, BA.2, BA.4 and BA.5 Than Pre-Omicron Infection Alone

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2, several Omicron sublineages have emerged, supplanting their predecessors. Here we compared the neutralization of Omicron sublineages BA.1, BA.2, BA.4 and BA.5 by human sera collected from ...

Changing concepts of "latent tuberculosis infection" in patients living with HIV infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
One third of the world's population is estimated to be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, representing a huge reservoir of potential tuberculosis (TB) disease. Risk of progression to active TB is highest in those with HIV coinfection. However, the

Evolution of HIV-1 subtype C immune responses during acute and chronic HIV infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of this study was to compare the magnitude and breadth of HIV-specific T cell responses to HIV Gag and Nef mounted during acute HIV infection with those that emerged during chronic infection and to investigate the association of these responses ...

Undiagnosed HIV infection among adolescents seeking primary health care in Zimbabwe. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: Mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was extremely common in southern Africa during the 1990s, and a substantial minority of infected infants have survived to reach adolescence undiagnosed. Studies have
