HIV-1 tropism and survival in vertically infected Ugandan infants.
BACKGROUND Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) may utilize the CXCR4 coreceptor (X4 virus), the CCR5 coreceptor (R5 virus), or both (dual/mixed [DM] virus). We analyzed HIV-1 coreceptor tropism in Ugandan infants enrolled in the HIVNET (HIV Network for Prevention Trials) 012 trial. METHODS Plasma or serum was analyzed using a commercial coreceptor tropism assay. HIV env subtype was de...
متن کاملAssociation of HIV Diversity and Survival in HIV-Infected Ugandan Infants
BACKGROUND The level of viral diversity in an HIV-infected individual can change during the course of HIV infection, reflecting mutagenesis during viral replication and selection of viral variants by immune and other selective pressures. Differences in the level of viral diversity in HIV-infected infants may reflect differences in viral dynamics, immune responses, or other factors that may also...
متن کاملT Cell Immunity and HIV-1 Replication in Vertically-Infected Infants and Children: A Dissertation
Virus-specific cellular immune responses have been shown to be important in the control of viral replication in several animal and human virus models. Cells of both the CD8+ and CD4+ T cell lineages have been shown to play protective roles during viral infections by exerting effector functions that can kill infected host cells or inhibit the production and spread of infectious virions. The cont...
متن کاملSurvival of Ugandan infants with subtype A and D HIV-1 infection (HIVNET 012).
Virologic factors may influence survival of HIV-1-infected infants. We compared survival of Ugandan infants with subtype A and subtype D HIV-1 infection. This study was performed in the context of the Ugandan clinical trial HIVNET 012, which compared the efficacy of single-dose nevirapine (NVP) and short-course zidovudine (AZT) for prevention of HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission. HIV-1 subtype...
متن کاملDynamics of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication in vertically infected infants.
Plasma human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) turnover and kinetics were studied in children aged 15 days to 2 years following the initiation of a triple antiretroviral drug regimen consisting of zidovudine, lamivudine, and nevirapine. HIV-1 turnover was at least as rapid as that previously described in adults; turnover rates were more rapid in infants and children aged 3 months to 2 years...
