1. HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity assays based on monoclonal antibodies to native enzyme : Applications on studies of antiviral substances and immunological variation of reverse transcriptase
Abstract : Specific detection of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) activity in crude materials was enhanced using a capture assay for immunopurification and subsequent activity assay. The purification step was achieved by anti-HIV-1 RT monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) immobilized onto a solid carrier. READ MORE

2. Structure-Assisted Design of Drugs Towards HIV-1 and Malaria Targets : Applied on Reverse Transcriptase and Protease from HIV-1 and Plasmepsin II from Plasmodium falciparum
Abstract : Globally of today, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and malaria are two of the most threatening diseases known to mankind. The World Health Organization estimated that AIDS and malaria together claimed nearly 4 million lives in 2003 and many more were infected by the causative agent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the Plasmodium falciparum (P.

3. Enhancement of HIV-1 DNA immunogens
Abstract : Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 eludes control by the immune response through a high degree of variability and immune escape mechanisms. Induction of a broad specific immune response is important to clear virus-infected cells. READ MORE

4. Antiretroviral treatment of HIV-1 in Sweden with focus on virological aspects
Abstract : From a clinical standpoint, there are many factors to consider when optimizing the care for people living with HIV (PLWH). With help from clinical guidelines, most obstacles can be addressed. Expanded knowledge is however in constant demand, from local conditions to universal processes. READ MORE

5. Co-evolution of the HIV-1 R5 phenotype and the viral envelope glycoproteins
Abstract : To gain entry into target cells, HIV-1 binds to CD4 via the viral glycoprotein gp120. This interac-tion initiates a series of events including binding of a coreceptor, CCR5 and/or CXCR4, and ulti-mately leads to gp41-mediated fusion of the viral and cell membranes. READ MORE
