Characterization of HIV-1 binding to peripheral blood mononuclear cells versus monocytes/macrophages : relationship to neuropathogenesis

Munsaka, Sody (2007)

Individuals with HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD) are characterized with increased percentages of circulating activated monocytes/macrophages (M/MΦ) with CDl4/CDl6 phenotype. Higher levels of HIV-1 DNA are detected in these ...
IFN-α and β restrict JC virus replication in primary human fetal glial cells : implications for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy therapy

Co, Juliene Kimberly G (2006)

Among the severely immunocompromised, IC virus ( JCV) may cause a fatal demyelinating disease, progressive multifoca1leukoencephalopathy (PML). Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is the standard treatment for PML ...
Investigating the cause for the difference in SPEB activity between two related Streptococcus pyogenes isolates
