  2. 1. HIV-1 patient assessment and treatment : from multitest to co-receptor (CCR5) gene polymorphism : from Rgp160 immunization to highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART)

    Author : Göran Bratt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During the last 15 years, understanding of the pathogenesis of HIV- 1 infection and AIDS has developed rapidly. From a mysterious plague-like untreatable disease with unknown cause and transmission route to a well characterized, chronic, manageable, if yet not curable, retroviral infection. READ MORE

  4. 2. HIV-1 infection and loss of serological memory : the role of altered expression of B-cell chemokine receptors, timing of HAART and impaired antibody affinity maturation

    Author : Alberto Cagigi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Currently, big efforts in HIV-1 research are devoted to the design of a HIV-1 vaccine. However, no successful vaccine is yet available, also due to the lack of basic knowledge in HIV-1 pathogenesis which is still profound. READ MORE

    Author : Graham Hotchkiss; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ribozymes; HIV-1; Telomere length; HAART; Gene Therapy;

    Abstract : HIV-1 is the causative agent in AIDS, the world's fourth most frequent cause of death. HIV is a retrovirus that primarily infects macrophages and T helper cells - required for a proper immune response. READ MORE

    Keywords : HIV; HAART; CD4 ; viral load; treatment interruption; immunotherapy; rgp 160; HIV-1 DNA;

    Abstract : The very first HIV-1 infected patients who received antiretroviral combination therapy (HAART) were severely ill and had very low CD4+ T cell counts. We describe a group of severely ill HIV- I infected patients monitored for the first two years of their HAART. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immune dysregulation in HIV-1 infected lymphoid tissue

    Author : Homira Behbahani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HIV-1; HAART; cytokines; chemokines; lymphoid tissue; perforin; Nef; LIF; placenta; chemokine receptor;

    Abstract : Lymphoid compartments are major sites for HIV-1 replication. We evaluated cytokines, chemokines and immunological effector function at the single cell level in lymphoid tissues in chronically HIV-1 infected patients. READ MORE
