Cytolytic effector memory HIV- and SIV-specific CD8+ T cells are key correlates for natural and vaccine-induced viral control. While assumed, it remains unknown if these cells leave the blood to…
…cells in lymph nodes. Multiparametric flow cytometry was performed to monitor the immunological effects of the used interventions. We found that in SIV-infected, ART-treated RMs, depletion of CD8+ lymphocytes results in increased virus…
Phylogenetic analysis has shown that some HIV positive men who self-report as heterosexual have viruses that cluster only with men who have sex with men (MSM). We characterised this group….
…of memory CD4 T cells contribute to, the total pool of infected CD4 T cells and plasma viremia. Lymphocytes from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC), spleen, and Mesenteric Lymph Nodes…
…lymph node reservoirs (p<0.05), while similar lymph node proviral DNA burdens were observed CBA and control animals. Further analysis at set point of intra-animal evolutionary changes in viral genotypes showed…
…calculated assortativity-the tendency for nodes to link to other nodes with the same attributes-for each transmission risk group. We found 1,722 molecular transmissions clusters, and 36% of individuals (8,133/22,398) clustered…
…lung opacities. A total of 141 patients underwent LDCT of whom 86% were men and 14% were women. The median age was 57 years (54-60), 87 (62 %) had positive…
…cells were measured in the spleen (mean 1887 cells/106 CD4+ T cells), whereas blood and lymph nodes displayed similarly lower frequencies (842 and 848 cells/106 CD4+ T cells, respectively). p27+…
…phenotype. Methods: CM9 specific CD8+ T cells were sorted from blood, lymph nodes, spleen, and liver from SIV infected rhesus macaques. The cells were processed through the 10x Genomics single…
…release of DOR from optimized LA-DOR formulations was assessed in BALB/c mice (n=4 per formulation). Tissue drug levels in selected tissues including lymph nodes, spleen, vagina, cervix, uterus, rectum, ileum,…
