Mucosal plasma cell repertoire during HIV-1 infection.
Impaired development of local Ab responses may predispose HIV-1-infected patients to an increased rate, severity, and duration of mucosal infections. We characterized the repertoire of Ig-producing cells in the intestinal effector compartment (the lamina propria) of HIV-1-infected (n = 29) and seronegative control (n = 27) subjects. The density of Ig-producing cells per area was similar in both...
متن کاملPlasma cytokine levels during acute HIV-1 infection predict HIV disease progression.
BACKGROUND Both T-cell activation during early HIV-1 infection and soluble markers of immune activation during chronic infection are predictive of HIV disease progression. Although the acute phase of HIV infection is associated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production, the relationship between cytokine concentrations and HIV pathogenesis is unknown. OBJECTIVES To identify cytokine ...
متن کاملDeep sequencing of HIV-1 variants from paired plasma and cerebrospinal fluid during primary HIV infection
BACKGROUND Limited data exist comparing viral quasispecies between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma compartments during primary HIV infection. Deep sequencing is a new method to examine the HIV plasma and CSF quasispecies. METHODS In this pilot study, deep sequencing of protease (PR) and reverse transcriptase (RT) was performed in plasma and CSF from participants during primary HIV infect...
متن کاملCorrection: Lack of Mucosal Immune Reconstitution during Prolonged Treatment of Acute and Early HIV-1 Infection
BACKGROUND During acute and early HIV-1 infection (AEI), up to 60% of CD4(+) T cells in the lamina propria of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract are lost as early as 2-4 wk after infection. Reconstitution in the peripheral blood during therapy with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is well established. However, the extent of immune reconstitution in the GI tract is unknown. METH...
متن کاملEffect of early antiretroviral therapy during primary HIV-1 infection on cell-associated HIV-1 DNA and plasma HIV-1 RNA.
BACKGROUND Early initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) during primary HIV-1 infection may prevent the establishment of large viral reservoirs, possibly resulting in improved control of plasma viraemia rebound after ART cessation. METHODS Levels of cell-associated HIV-1 DNA and plasma HIV-1 RNA were measured longitudinally in 32 acutely and recently infected patients, who star...
