HIV-specific functional antibody responses in breast milk mirror those in plasma and are primarily mediated by IgG antibodies
Despite months of mucosal virus exposure, the majority of breastfed infants born to HIV-infected mothers do not become infected, raising the possibility that immune factors in milk inhibit mucosal transmission of HIV.[more]
Liposomes for HIV prophylaxis
Researchers are still working to find an effective microbicide to help prevent sexual transmission of HIV.[more]
Natural Killer Cell lytic granule secretion occurs through a pervasive actin network at the immune synapse
Natural killer cells (NK) are immune system cells involved in eliminating infected cells.[more]
Inhibition of HIV-1 integration in ex vivo-infected CD4 T Cells from elite controllers
Elite controllers spontaneously maintain undetectable levels of HIV-1 replication for reasons that remain unclear.[more]
APOBEC3A is a specific Inhibitor of the early phases of HIV-1 infection in myeloid cells
Myeloid cells play numerous roles in HIV-1 pathogenesis which include serving as a vehicle for viral spread and as a viral reservoir.[more]
Analysis of Behavior and Trafficking of Dendritic Cells within the Brain during Toxoplasmic Encephali
Toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE), caused by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, can be potentially life threatening especially in immuno-compromised individuals.[more]
Endothelial Cells are Central Orchestrators of Cytokine Amplification during Influenza Virus Infection
Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have found a novel mechanism by which certain viruses such as influenza trigger can trigger a severe immune reaction known as a cytokine storm.[more]
