Disease progression in Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 infected viraemic controllers [PDF]
PhDBackground: The mechanism of CD4+ T-cell decline in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) infection is unclear, but the association with plasma HIV-1 RNA-load suggests viral replication is involved.

The role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in infection with feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
Infection with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) leads to the development of a disease state similar to AIDS in man. Recent studies have identified the chemokine receptor CXCR4 as the major receptor for cell culture-adapted strains of FIV, suggesting ...

Protection of stem cell-derived lymphocytes in a primate AIDS gene therapy model after in vivo selection [PDF]
Background: There is currently no effective AIDS vaccine, emphasizing the importance of developing alternative therapies. Recently, a patient was successfully transplanted with allogeneic, naturally resistant CCR5-negative (CCR5 delta 32) cells, setting ...

Upregulation of surface feline CXCR4 expression following ectopic expression of CCR5: implications for studies of the cell tropism of feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
Feline CXCR4 and CCR5 were expressed in feline cells as fusion proteins with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Expression of the EGFP fusion proteins was localized to the cell membrane, and surface expression of CXCR4 was confirmed by using a ...

Construction and characterization of chimaeric human immunodefiency virus type 1 subtype C Gag virus-like particles [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 114-128).In this study I explored the possibility of making HIV-1 subtype C Pr55gag-based chimaeric virus-like particles (VLPs) as a boost to the HIV-IC multigene DNA vaccine pTHr.grttnC, which encodes a ...

Selection, transmission, and reversion of an antigen-processing cytotoxic T-lymphocyte escape mutation in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 infection [PDF]
Numerous studies now support that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) evolution is influenced by immune selection pressure, with population studies showing an association between specific HLA alleles and mutations within defined cytotoxic T ...

Evolution of replication efficiency following infection with a molecularly cloned feline immunodeficiency virus of low virulence [PDF]
The development of an effective vaccine against human immunodeficiency virus is considered to be the most practicable means of controlling the advancing global AIDS epidemic.

ABSTRACT Introduction Natural hosts of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), including sooty mangabeys (SMs), maintain high viremia without progressing to AIDS and AIDS‐associated histopathogenesis. The mechanisms underlying this protection and lack of pathogenesis remain incompletely understood, particularly in relation to monocyte/macrophage ...

ABSTRACT Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has markedly improved the prognosis of people living with HIV (PLWH); however, latent viral reservoirs remain a major barrier to a cure. The “Shock and Kill” strategy aims to reactivate latent provirus with latency‐reversing agents (LRAs) and subsequently eliminate the infected cells, yet most LRAs characterized to

Differential utilization of CD134 as a functional receptor by diverse strains of feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
The feline homologue of CD134 (fCD134) is the primary binding receptor for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), targeting the virus preferentially to activated CD4+ helper T cells.
