Advanced baseline immunosuppression is associated with elevated levels of plasma markers of fungal translocation and inflammation in long-term treated HIV-infected Tanzanians

AIDS Research and Therapy, 2021
Background For over a decade, antiretroviral therapy (ART) in resource-limited countries was only recommended for patients with advanced HIV disease.

HIV-1 Rev-RRE functional activity in primary isolates is highly dependent on minimal context-dependent changes in Rev

Scientific Reports, 2022
During HIV infection, intron-containing viral mRNAs are exported from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm to complete the replication cycle. Cellular restrictions on the export of incompletely spliced transcripts are overcome by a viral protein, Rev, and ...

Development and characterization of a panel of anti-idiotype antibodies to 1C10 that cross-neutralize HIV-1 subtype B viruses

Frontiers in Virology, 2022
The V3 loop of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope protein (Env) is one of the conserved immunogenic regions targeted by neutralizing antibodies (nAb).

Functional analysis of a monoclonal antibody reactive against the C1C2 of Env obtained from a patient infected with HIV-1 CRF02_AG

Retrovirology, 2021
Background Recent data suggest the importance of non-neutralizing antibodies (nnAbs) in the development of vaccines against HIV-1 because two types of nnAbs that recognize the coreceptor binding site (CoRBS) and the C1C2 region mediate antibody-dependent

Retrovirus-delivered siRNA [PDF]

BMC Biotechnology, 2002
The ability of transfected synthetic small interfering (si) RNAs to suppress the expression of specific transcripts has proved a useful technique to probe gene function in mammalian cells. However, high production costs limit this technology's utility for many laboratories and experimental situations.

Retrovirus molecular conjugates [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 2001
Retrovirus-derived vectors are currently the preferred vectors used for human gene therapy protocols. Serious safety concerns persist, however, which are specifically related to the formation of a replication-competent virus, and no synthesis method currently employed precludes its formation with certainty.

Determinants and Mechanisms of the Low Fusogenicity and High Dependence on Endosomal Entry of Omicron Subvariants

mBio, 2023
The rapid spread and strong immune evasion of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants has raised serious concerns for the global COVID-19 pandemic. These new variants exhibit generally reduced fusogenicity and increased endosomal entry pathway utilization ...

Comparative virology of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2

Retrovirology, 2019
Human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was the first discovered human retrovirus and the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis.

Long-term memory CD8+ T cells specific for SARS-CoV-2 in individuals who received the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine

Nature Communications, 2022
mRNA vaccines have been shown to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduce hospitalization and mortality rates. Here, the authors show evidence of long-term memory CD8 + T cells in individuals who received the BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine.
