Evaluation of HIV Indeterminate Confirmatory Tests\' Results in Blood Donors in Northeast of Iran
Background and Aims: Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is spreading rapidly among the people worldwide. Infection with this virus leads to immune suppression and finally acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Early HIV detection is dependent on antibody screening against virus by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Some confirmatory tests such as Western Blot and Recombinant Immunobl...
متن کاملMembrane-Anchored HIV-1 N-Heptad Repeat Peptides Are Highly Potent Cell Fusion Inhibitors via an Altered Mode of Action
Peptide inhibitors derived from HIV-gp41 envelope protein play a pivotal role in deciphering the molecular mechanism of HIV-cell fusion. According to accepted models, N-heptad repeat (NHR) peptides can bind two targets in an intermediate fusion conformation, thereby inhibiting progression of the fusion process. In both cases the orientation towards the endogenous intermediate conformation shoul...
متن کاملUsing HIV resistance tests in clinical practice.
Genotypic resistance testing is now a standard of care in HIV management. Although there are clear, published guidelines to recommend the appropriate use of these tests, clinicians and scientists still struggle to determine the optimal use of resistance tests given the finite budgets and time constraints under which they work. In this article we discuss some 'real-life' clinical situations and ...
متن کاملProviral DNA as a Target for HIV-1 Resistance Analysis.
BACKGROUND Resistance analysis from viral RNA is restricted to detectable viral load. Therefore, analysis from proviral DNA could help in cases with low-level or suppressed viremia. METHODS Viral plasma RNA and the corresponding cellular proviral DNA of 78 EDTA samples from 48 therapy-naïve (TN) and 30 therapy-experienced (TE) HIV-1-infected patients were isolated and analyzed for their resis...
متن کاملGeno2pheno: Interpreting Genotypic HIV Drug Resistance Tests
nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors (NRTI and NNRTI, respectively) and protease inhibitors (PI). (See the “Abbreviations” sidebar for other abbreviations in this article). Even with the currently recommended combination therapies consisting of three to five drugs, few patients achieve longterm suppression of plasma virus levels below detectable limits. Drug resistance1 is a majo...
