Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of a Soluble Anti-HIV-1 factor (s) with IFN-γ, IL-10, and β-Chemokine Modulating Activity by an Influenza-Bacterial Polyantigenic MixtureJosé W. Rodríguez, Nat O. Pagan, Mar C. Ocasio et al.Partial immune restoration may be obtained with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but specific anti-HIV-1 immune responses do not appear to improve substantially. We have demonstrated that a soluble factor(s) induced by a mixture of inactivated influenza and bacterial vaccines called polyantigenic immunomodulator (PAI), possesses strong immunoregulatory and anti- HIV-1 activities. In the present study, we show that culture fluids … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,845 accessesView PDF Cite
