Impact of Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC)-null linked Neutropenia on Neutrophil and Natural Killer cell Function in HIV-1 Infection.
(2018)Sub-Saharan Africa carries a disproportionate burden of the HIV-1 epidemic. The Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC)-null polymorphism is a predictor of ethnic neutropenia which commonly occurs in persons of African ... -
Sex differences in the Kinetics of immune reconstitution under antiretroviral therapy.
(2017)The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains a global health threat and is increasingly becoming a female epidemic due to gender inequalities. The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has greatly increased ... -
Development and optimization of real-time PCR assays to detect anti-microbial immune factors and their response to type I and II interferons.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Analysis of viral inhibitory activity of cytotoxic T. Lymphocytes targeting identical epitopes restricted by different class 1 HLA alleles from the same HLA supertype.
(2015)Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphism and the genetic diversity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are the major obstacles for designing an effective HIV Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTLs) based vaccine. Interestingly, ... -
Mapping immunodominant patterns and HLA class II restriction characteristics of HIV-specific CD4+ T cell responses in acute and chronic HIV-1 subtype C infection.
(2014)Increasing evidence suggests that virus-specific CD4+ T cells contribute to immune-mediated control of HIV-1 infection. However, precise details of CD4+ T cell contribution to immune protection against HIV have not been ...
