Immunity to HIV

HIV Virus HIV is a retrovirus and made of double stranded RNA enclosed within a glycosylated capsid Target cells for HIV are any cell expressing both CD4 and CCR5 or CXCR4 (chemokine receptors) HIV has evolved to use these receptors to infect the “central command” of the immune system and by so doing ultimately disables Read More

Inflammation at Every Stage: How the Immune System Drives and Can Be Targeted in Atherosclerosis
