Efficacy of HIV antiviral polyanionic carbosilane dendrimer G2-S16 in the presence of semen
The development of a safe and effective microbicide to prevent the sexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 is urgently needed. Unfortunately, the majority of microbicides, such as poly(L-lysine)-dendrimers, anionic polymers, or antiretrovirals, have proved inactive or even increased the risk of HIV infection in clinical trials, most probably due to the fact that these compou...
متن کاملCCR9 inhibition does not interfere with the development of immune tolerance to oral antigens.
Recent literature indicates that mice deficient in the chemokine receptor CCR9 (CCR9(-/-) mice) are unable to generate oral tolerance. The present report describes how such inability can be overcome by increasing the dose of oral antigen. Pharmacological inhibition of CCR9 did not affect the generation of oral tolerance, regardless of antigen dose. These results highlight the inadequacy of gene...
متن کاملSplenectomy does not interfere with immune response to Leishmania major infection in mice.
Spleen is one of the largest lymphoid organs in the body; it harbors immune cells including antigen presenting cells, B and T lymphocytes. It has an important role in humoral and cellular immune responses. Herein we investigated the role of spleen in the immune response to experimental Leishmania major infection. It is known that C57BL/6 mice are resistant to L. major infection whereas BALB/c m...
متن کاملAbacavir coadministration does not interfere with the suppressive activity of ribavirin in an HCV replicon system.
BACKGROUND HCV is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-coinfected patients. Several observational studies have suggested that HCV response to pegylated interferon and ribavirin is lower in HIV-coinfected patients treated with abacavir. It has been postulated that abacavir could compete with ribavirin to be phosphorylated, leading to a reduction in the active form of the drug (triphos...
متن کاملWhy does the central nervous system not regenerate after injury?
A major problem for neuroscientists and clinicians is why the central nervous system shows ineffective regeneration after injury. Injured peripheral nerve fibers reform their connections, whereas those in injured spinal cord never re-grow. Insights into the mechanisms for repair and restoration of function after spinal cord injury have been obtained by experiments showing that injured nerve cel...
