From:Science (Vol. 267, Issue 5205) Peer-ReviewedAdult macaques do not develop disease after infection with a nef deletion mutant of the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and are protected against challenge with pathogenic virus. This finding led to the proposal to...

From:Science (Vol. 272, Issue 5263) Peer-ReviewedA study indicating that monkeys treated with the hormone progesterone have a higher risk of SIV infection has caused urgent public health concern about AIDS risk. More than 2.5 million women in the US use implanted...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedCD8 T cells play an important role in controlling viral infections. We investigated the in situ localization of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-specific T cells in lymph and genital tissues from SIV-infected...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 7, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe disappointing outcomes of cellular immune-based vaccines against HIV-1 despite strong evidence for the protective role of CD8.sup.+ T lymphocytes (CTLs) has prompted revisiting the mechanisms of cellular immunity....
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedReceptive ano-rectal intercourse is a major cause of HIV infection in men having sex with men and in heterosexuals. Current knowledge of the mechanisms of entry and dissemination during HIV rectal transmission is scarce...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedCD8+ T Lymphocytes (CTL) can control AIDS virus replication. However, natural selection favoring viral variants that escape CTL recognition is a common feature of both simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection of...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedTo explore the differences between the extreme SIV infection phenotypes, nonprogression (BEN: benign) to AIDS in sooty mangabeys (SMs) and progression to AIDS (MAL: malignant) in rhesus macaques (RMs), we performed an...
-
From:Nature (Vol. 458, Issue 7235) Peer-ReviewedChronic immunodeficiency virus infections are characterized by dysfunctional cellular and humoral antiviral immune responses (1-3). As such, immune modulatory therapies that enhance and/or restore the function of...
-
From:Journal of Clinical Investigation (Vol. 123, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedHIV infection results in gastrointestinal (GI) tract damage, microbial translocation, and immune activation, which are not completely ameliorated with suppression of viremia by antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. Furthermore,...
-
From:Journal of Immunology Research (Vol. 2014) Peer-ReviewedMicrobial translocation (MT) causes systemic immune activation in chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The role of a novel subtype of innate lymphoid cells, the NKp[44.sup.+] NK cells, in HIV/simian...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedBackground Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic that has been proposed as a potential conjunctive therapy for HIV-1 associated cognitive disorders. Precise mechanism(s) of minocycline's functions are not well...
-
From:Nature (Vol. 502, Issue 7469) Peer-ReviewedCellular immune responses in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) vaccinated with cytomegalovirus vectors expressing SIV proteins are able to stringently control highly pathogenic SIV infection, regardless of the route of...
-
From:Journal of Clinical Investigation (Vol. 131, Issue 15) Peer-ReviewedInterindividual immune variability is driven predominantly by environmental factors, including exposure to chronic infectious agents such as cytomegalovirus (CMV). We investigated the effects of rhesus CMV (RhCMV) on...
-
From:Science (Vol. 257, Issue 5070) Peer-ReviewedCan simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a relative of the human AIDS virus once thought to infect only monkeys, also infect humans? The disturbing answer may be yes, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)...
-
From:Science (Vol. 258, Issue 5090) Peer-ReviewedVaccine protection against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the related simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in animal models is proving to be a difficult task. The difficulty is due in large part to the...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Ladawan Khowawisetsut 1,2, Kovit Pattanapanyasat 2,3,*, Nattawat Onlamoon 2,3, Ann E. Mayne 1, Dawn M. Little 1, Francois Villinger 1,4, Aftab A. Ansari 1,* Introduction Dysregulation of the immune...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThe Gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays a pivotal role in AIDS pathogenesis as it is the primary site for viral transmission, replication and CD4.sup.+ T cell destruction. Accordingly, GI disease (enteropathy) has become...
-
From:Gene Therapy (Vol. 10, Issue 14) Peer-ReviewedAlthough lentivirus vectors hold promise for ocular gene therapy, they also have potential safety issues, particularly in the case of the current human immunodeficiency virus-based vectors. We recently developed a novel...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 4, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Primary HIV-infected patients display severe and irreversible damage to different blood B-cell subsets which is not restored by highly efficient anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). Because longitudinal...
