Helminth-Associated Systemic Immune Activation and HIV Co-receptor Expression: Response to Albendazole/Praziquantel Treatment
BACKGROUND It has been hypothesized that helminth infections increase HIV susceptibility by enhancing systemic immune activation and hence contribute to elevated HIV-1 transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVE To study systemic immune activation and HIV-1 co-receptor expression in relation to different helminth infections and in response to helminth treatment. METHODS HIV-negative adult...
متن کاملTurning tumors into vaccines: co-opting the innate immune system.
Immunotherapy of cancer must be effective in the pre-established disease; i.e., in the therapeutic rather than prophylactic setting. Here, we review novel immunotherapeutic approaches for targeting established cancers. In addition to novel checkpoint-blocking antibodies, recent insight into innate immune sensors may further improve cancer immunotherapy protocols and help to overcome the limitat...

متن کاملHTLV-1/-2 and HIV-1 co-infections: retroviral interference on host immune status
The human retroviruses HIV-1 and HTLV-1/HTLV-2 share similar routes of transmission but cause significantly different diseases. In this review we have outlined the immune mediated mechanisms by which HTLVs affect HIV-1 disease in co-infected hosts. During co-infection with HIV-1, HTLV-2 modulates the cellular microenvironment favoring its own viability and inhibiting HIV-1 progression. This is ...
متن کاملCan the immune response control HIV infection?
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) constitutes an unprecedented challenge to medical science. Once an HIV infection is established, its clinical course, while protracted , is generally inexorable. With the possible exception of a group of recently described "long-term nonpro-gressors," virtually all HIV-infected individuals eventually develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the outco...
