Characterization of the longitudinal HIV-1 quasispecies evolution in HIV-1 infected individuals co-infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
One of the earliest and most striking observations made about HIV is the extensive genetic variation that the virus has within individual hosts, particularly in the hypervariable regions of the env gene which is divided into 5 variable regions (V1-V5 ...

Abstract Objectives The gp120‐directed attachment inhibitor fostemsavir was effective in people with multidrug‐resistant (MDR) HIV‐1 in the BRIGHTE study. Understanding factors associated with virologic response can help clinicians optimize treatment and identify individuals for fostemsavir‐based regimens.

Amelioration of Neurotoxic Effects of HIV Envelope Protein gp120 by Fibroblast Growth Factor: A Strategy for Neuroprotection [PDF]
Approximately two thirds of patients with human immunodeficiency virus encephalitis (HIVE) show cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration, while one third are cognitively unimpaired and their neuronal populations are preserved. Thus, it is possible that these individuals might have the capacity to produce neurotrophic factors capable of protecting ...

Evolution of the HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins with a disulfide bond between gp120 and gp41
Background We previously described the construction of an HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein complex (Env) that is stabilized by an engineered intermolecular disulfide bond (SOS) between gp120 and gp41.

A novel HIV vaccine adjuvanted by IC31 induces robust and persistent humoral and cellular immunity. [PDF]
The HIV vaccine strategy that, to date, generated immune protection consisted of a prime-boost regimen using a canarypox vector and an HIV envelope protein with alum, as shown in the RV144 trial.

Role of CD4 epitopes outside the gp120-binding site during entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 [PDF]
CD4 is the primary receptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The binding site for the surface glycoprotein of HIV type 1 (HIV-1), gp120, has been mapped to the C'-C" region of domain 1 of CD4. Previously, we have shown that a mutant of rat CD4, in

HIV-1 gp120 influences the expression of microRNAs in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells via STAT3 activation [PDF]
Background: MicroRNAs (miRs) are an abundant class of small non-coding RNAs (~22 nt) that reprogram gene ex- pression by targeting mRNA degradation and translational disruption.

Mutant CD4 Molecules with Improved Binding to HIV Envelope Protein gp120 Selected by Phage Display
Phage-display methodology has been used to select variant CD4 proteins exhibiting increased binding to the surface envelope glycoprotein, gp120, of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1. To facilitate the selection, a library of mutant CD4 proteins was constructed by cloning a PCR-generated error prone population of the first two domains of CD4 into the ...

Detection of antibody-dependent complement mediated inactivation of both autologous and heterologous virus in primary HIV-1 infection [PDF]
Specific CD8 T-cell responses to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are induced in primary infection and make an important contribution to the control of early viral replication.
