Molecular mechanisms of CD8+ T cell mediated control of HIV-1 infection in peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues.
(2019)Naturally induced CD8+ T cells do not clear human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, partly because the virus rapidly escapes CD8+ T cell responses and the effector cells are excluded from HIV reservoirs sites. However, ... -
T follicular helper cell dynamics during acute HIV-1 subtype C infection and relevance for T-helper cell-dependent responses.
(2018)Abstract available in pdf. -
Immunological effects of asymptomatic vibrio cholerae, salmonella enterica serovar typhi and entamoeba histolytica enteric pathogens during HIV infection and exposure.
(2017)Background Asymptomatic infection by enteric pathogens has been attributed to causing several outbreaks in the world. Common pathogens in this category are Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella typhi and Entamoeba histolytica ... -
Characterizing the role of CD4+ T cell immunoregulatory networks in peripheral blood and lymphoid tissue during HIV-1 clade C infection.
(2018)HIV eradication efforts have been unsuccessful due to virus persistence in cellular and tissue reservoirs. Recent evidence suggests that germinal centers (GCs) within lymph nodes (LN) contain a novel subset of regulatory ... -
Protective HLA class I alleles : investigation of viral control and lack of control in chronic HIV-1 subtype C infection.
(2015)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Patterns and features of HIV-1 specific CD8+ T-cell responses during acute HIV-1 infection and their association with viral control.
(2015)Evidence suggests that CD8+ T-‐cells play a major role in the control of HIV-‐1 viremia and apply significant immune pressure on HIV-‐1 replication. However, the presence of virus-‐specific ...
