Simple determination of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 syncytium-inducing V3 genotype by PCR.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) phenotype variability plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AIDS. The presence of syncytium-inducing (SI) HIV-1 isolates in infected individuals is associated with a rapid decline of CD4+ T cells, rapid disease progression, and reduced survival time after AIDS diagnosis. The strong association between the SI capacity of HIV-1 and the presence...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of syncytium-inducing and non-syncytium-inducing virus in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
Among 75 consecutive human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients with moderate and advanced immunosuppression, those harboring syncytium-inducing (SI) HIV-1 had a lower CD(4+)-cell count (145 versus 278 cells per microliter, P < 0.001) and 10-fold-higher virus titers than patients with non-SI HIV-1 (398 versus 39 infectious units per 10(6) CD4+ lymphocytes; P < 0.001). In pati...
متن کاملStandardized microtiter assay for determination of syncytium-inducing phenotypes of clinical human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates.
A standardized assay in 96-well microtiter plates for syncytium-inducing (SI) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 phenotype detection using MT-2 cells has been developed. SI variants were found in 67% of the patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus disease. The occurrence of the SI phenotype increased with lower CD4+ counts. There was no association between p24 antigenemia and the SI...
متن کاملEvolution of syncytium-inducing and non-syncytium-inducing biological virus clones in relation to replication kinetics during the course of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection.
To investigate the temporal relationship between human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replicative capacity and syncytium-inducing (SI) phenotype, biological and genetic characteristics of longitudinally obtained virus clones from two HIV-1-infected individuals who developed SI variants were studied. In one individual, the emergence of rapidly replicating SI and non-syncytium-inducing (NS...
متن کاملHuman cord blood mononuclear cells are preferentially infected by non-syncytium-inducing, macrophage-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates.
Identification of the factors which impact on the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) from an infected mother to her infant is essential for the development of effective strategies to prevent perinatal HIV-1 infection. The current study was designed to determine if unstimulated human neonatal cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC) differ from adult peripheral blood mononucl...
