background: improving the performance of hiv diagnosis assays is one of the most important ways to reduce hiv transmission. because of the high mutation rate of hiv, it is critical to use the conserved proteins to develop diagnostic immunoassay methods. because integrase is one of the most conserved proteins of hiv, it may be a good target for this purpose. in this paper cloning, purification a...

infection with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) is a progressive condition which may cause endothelial dysfunction and liver damage leading to coagulopathy. with adventure of highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart), life expectancy has prolonged in hiv positive patients but several acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids)-related conditions such as coagulopathies are responsible for ass...

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is a heterogeneous heritable disease characterized by arrest in b cell differentiation. an association between cvid and two hla haplotypes, haplotype i (hla-a1, hla-b8, hla-dr3) and haplotype ii (hla-a29, hla-b44, hladr7)has been previously documented. in the present study, we have attempted to find an association between susceptibility to cvid and hla cl...
