GB virus C coinfection in advanced HIV type-1 disease is associated with low CCR5 and CXCR4 surface expression on CD4(+) T-cells.
BACKGROUND Coinfection with the flavivirus GB virus C (GBV-C) is frequent in patients suffering from HIV type-1 (HIV-1) infection because of shared routes of transmission. GBV-C coinfection has been proposed to exert a beneficial influence on HIV-1 infection. In vitro studies demonstrated down-regulation of C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) as a potential mechanism by which GBV-C modulates H...
متن کاملGB virus C coinfection and HIV-1 disease progression: The Amsterdam Cohort Study.
BACKGROUND The effect that GB virus C (GBV-C) coinfection has on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) disease progression is controversial and therefore was studied in 326 homosexual men from the prospective Amsterdam Cohort Studies who had an accurately estimated date of HIV-1 seroconversion and were followed up for a median period of 8 years. METHODS A first plasma sample, obtained s...

514 Emerging Infectious Diseases • www.cdc.gov/eid • Vol. 13, No. 3, March 2007 PCRs were performed with primers from the internal regions of bla CTX-M gene and primers for insertion sequences ISEcp1 and IS903 (4,5). Positive PCR products were obtained with primers ISEcp1F and CTX2 (943 bp); no amplified product was produced with primers CTX1 and IS903R. Sequencing of a 943-bp amplicon showed t...
متن کاملImpaired Hepatitis C Virus-Specific T Cell Responses and Recurrent Hepatitis C Virus in HIV Coinfection
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T cell responses are critical for spontaneous resolution of HCV viremia. Here we examined the effect of a lymphotropic virus, HIV-1, on the ability of coinfected patients to maintain spontaneous control of HCV infection. METHODS AND FINDINGS We measured T cell responsiveness by lymphoproliferation and interferon-gamma ELISPOT in a large cohort of HC...
متن کاملUpdate on Hepatitis C Virus and HIV Coinfection
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has historically been difficult to treat in the HIV-infected population, owing to generally poor responses to interferon-based therapies. The recent rapid development of directly acting antiviral agents (DAAs) against HCV has the potential to revolutionize treatment of this infection in the HIV population by improving tolerability and outcome, and, ulti...
