The Nef protein is an accessory gene product encoded by human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1/-2) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) that boosts virus replication in the infected host and accelerates disease progression. Unlike the HIV-1

Induction of cytolytic T lymphocytes directed towards the V3 loop of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 external glycoprotein gp120 by p55gag/V3 chimeric vaccinia viruses [PDF]
T cell-mediated cytotoxicity may play an important role in controlling infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In order to study the ability of rationally designed antigens to induce cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) we replaced stretches of 30 to ...

Abstract In Canada, precarious migration is largely invisibilized. Nonetheless, b/ordering greatly affects people's realities by limiting access to social rights. In Quebec, migrants with precarious status (MPS) do not have access to healthcare, although Quebec has a “universal” healthcare coverage.

Human immunodeficiency virus and the liver: The impact of coinfection with hepatotropic viruses
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) predisposes for liver damage during coinfection with hepatitis E virus (HEV) and increases the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV). HIV-hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfections are common. In Mexico, hepatotropic viruses

Assessment of HIV-1 entry inhibitors by MLV/HIV-1 pseudotyped vectors [PDF]
Background: Murine leukemia virus (MLV) vector particles can be pseudotyped with a truncated variant of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope protein (Env) and selectively target gene transfer to human cells expressing both CD4 and an ...

Establishment and characterization of mouse lymph node fibrosis models
The design of the entire paper. Schematic illustration of four strategies for establishing mouse lymph node (LN) fibrosis models. The study further compares their fibrotic remodeling patterns and immune alterations. Abstract Background Lymph node (LN) fibrosis occurs in a variety of pathological conditions, including HIV infection, obesity, cancer, and

Risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among persons with severe mental illnesses.
Individuals diagnosed with a severe mental illness are at significantly enhanced risk for infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). To better understand elevated seroprevalence in this population, we review the research literature that has ...
