Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHigh Frequency of Stop Codons in the Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Protease Gene Frame in Human Immunodeficiency Virus+ Individuals with Below Detectable Levels of Plasma Viremia During Highly Active Antiretroviral TherapyMagdalena Czubala, Kabo Matlho, Maria Arriaga et al.We performed sequence analysis of HIV-1 proviral protease gene fragment (560 base pairs) amplified from ex-vivo peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 83 HIV+ individuals with Below Detectable Levels (BDL) (<20-40 RNA copies/ml plasma) and detectable levels of plasma HIV viremia while on HAART. Noteworthy was the systematic presence of stop codons identified only in the BDL group and not in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 14 Nov 2012 · 8,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMonocytes and their Role in Human Immunodeficiency Virus PathogenesisTara Sassé, Jingqin Wu, Li Zhou, Nitin K. SaksenaMonocytes play several significant immunological roles during HIV infection. The phenotypic pliability and the cellular differentiation ability monocytes possess are crucial to the ways they combat infections and control inflammatory processes. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the importance of monocytes in HIV-1 infection and pathogenesis. Moreover, this review also provides newly emerging data … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2012 · 8,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRendezvous with Tat: Transactivator of Transcription during Human Immunodeficiency Virus PathogenesisSneham Tiwari, Madhavan P.N. Nair, Shailendra K. SaxenaAcquired immune deficiency syndrome is a deadly disease caused by HIV, declared as a global catastrophe engulfing millions of lives per year. It took ~1.8 million lives in the year 2010 alone, as per reports of UNAIDS. HIV-1 is an enveloped retrovirus, having genome composed of two copies of ssRNA.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMiliary Tuberculosis: A Case ReportZhinous Bayat Makoo, Roshanak Bayat Makoo, Omid MashrabiProblem statement: During the last years it is more than evident that the prevalence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary Tuberculosis (TB), mainly in western European countries, has risen significantly. The aetiology of this phenomenon is multifactorial. Miliary tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that is characterized by millet-like seeding of TB bacilli in the lung, as evidenced on chest radiography. Approach: … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInduction 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 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCo-expression of Apoptosis-Related Molecules on Activated CD8+ CD38+ T-cells is Associated with HIV-1 Disease ProgressionJosé W. Rodríguez, Luis A. Rodríguez, Griselle Font et al.CD8+ T cells play a major role in controlling HIV-1 infection through the release of soluble lytic and non-lytic antiviral factors. Their decrease or defective function contributes to the HIV-1 disease progression. HIV-1 disease progression has been associated with a remarkable increase of CD38 expression on CD8+ T-cells. It has been also documented that a significant distribution of HIV-specific CD8+T-cells … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,016 accessesView PDFCite
