Rapamycin reduces CCR5 density levels on CD4 T cells, and this effect results in potentiation of enfuvirtide (T-20) against R5 strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in vitro.

The CCR5 chemokine receptor plays a pivotal role in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Several studies have suggested that CCR5 density levels in individuals are rate limiting for infection. In addition, CCR5 density levels influence the antiviral activity of the HIV-1 fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide (T-20) against R5 strains. In the present study we demonstrate that rapamycin ...

P-154: Comparison between The Effect of 17-Bestradiol at Preovulatory and Pregnancy Levels for In Vitro Generation of Regulatory T Cells

Background: Naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg) exert an important role in mediating maternal tolerance to the fetus during pregnancy. During pregnancy the elevated number of regulatory T cells (Tregs) correlates with 17-b oestradiol (E2) level. The role of maternal hormones in successful pregnancy is well known. Maternal hormones through re-engineering of the maternal immun...

Rapamycin Inhibits Expansion of Cord Blood Derived NK and T Cell

Background: The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is important in hematopoiesis. Despite the central role of mTOR in regulating the differentiation of immune cells, the effect of mTOR function on cord blood mononuclear cells is yet to be defined. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of mTOR inhibition, using rapamycin on the proliferation and apoptosis of cord blood mononuclear cells, as well ...

ACHOUR et al . CD 4 - CCR 5 INTERACTION 1 CHEMOKINES , CYTOKINES , AND INTERLEUKINES CD 4 interacts with CCR 5 in intracellular compartments and contributes to receptor expression at the cell surface

The association of CD4, a glycoprotein involved in T cell development and antigen recognition, and CCR5, a chemotactic G protein-coupled receptor, which regulates trafficking and effector functions of immune cells, forms the main receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus HIV. We observed that the vast majority of CCR5 is maintained within the intracellular compartments of primary T lymphocy...

Favorable interactions between enfuvirtide and 1-beta-D-2,6-diaminopurine dioxolane in vitro.

We evaluated the in vitro anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) interactions between 1-beta-D-2,6-diaminopurine dioxolane (DAPD) and enfuvirtide (T-20) against clinical isolates sensitive and resistant to reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors. Interactions between T-20 and DAPD were synergistic to nearly additive, with combination index values ranging from 0.53 to 1.06 at 95%...
