Progressive neurological dysfunction during latent HIV infection.
OBJECTIVE--To determine whether the delayed conduction through the spinal cord and peripheral nerves seen in patients with AIDS is related to infection with HIV or to the presence of an immunodeficient state. DESIGN--Two year prospective follow up study of electrophysiological measurements in subjects positive for HIV antibody but without AIDS. SETTING--HIV screening clinic and clinical departm...
متن کاملDynamics of Immune Escape during HIV/SIV Infection
Several studies have shown that cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play an important role in controlling HIV/SIV infection. Notably, the observation of escape mutants suggests a selective pressure induced by the CTL response. However, it remains difficult to assess the definite role of the cellular immune response. We devise a computational model of HIV/SIV infection having a broad cellular immune ...
متن کاملSelection of escape mutants from immune recognition during HIV infection.
We present computer simulations of the HIV infection based ona sophisticated cellular automata model of the immune response. The infection progresses following the well-known three-phase dynamics observed in patients, that is, acute, silent and acquired immunodeficiency.Antigenic shift and selection of escape viral mutants with low transcription rate explain the long term course of the asymptom...
متن کاملInnate immune dysfunction in HIV infection: effect of HIV envelope-NK cell interactions.
We have previously described a number of NK cell dysfunctions in HIV-viremic individuals. In the present study, we performed DNA microarray analysis followed by phenotypic and functional characterization in an effort to investigate which HIV envelope glycoproteins (gp120) affect the physiologic functions of NK cells. Upon treatment of NK cells with HIV gp120, DNA microarray analyses indicated u...
متن کاملInterferon-alpha, immune activation and immune dysfunction in treated HIV infection
Type I interferons (IFNs) exert anti-viral effects through the induction of numerous IFN-stimulated genes and an immunomodulatory effect on innate and adaptive immune responses. This is beneficial in controlling virus infections but prolonged IFN-α activity in persistent virus infections, such as HIV infection, may contribute to immune activation and have a detrimental effect on the function of...
