Three groups with different routes of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission (homosexual men, hemophiliacs, and children) were studied for serum antibodies to a recombinant form of the HIV-1 protease using an enzyme-linked immunoassay. At 1 year after seroconversion, defined as the
To investigate the role of apoptosis in the pathogenesis of HIV infection we used macaques infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) as a primate model and examined the characteristics of the apoptosis of lymphocytes in SIV mac-infected macaques. In vitro apoptosis was more strongly induced
Since the discovery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as the causative agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), various attempts have been made to control this fatal disorder. In the replicative cycle of HIV, several steps have been identified as attractive targets for antiviral
This paper presents the evolution during its follow-up of a virostatic combination study of the type I-II trial conducted on ten AIDS-related complex (ARC) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients [1, 9, respectively].

Expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF alpha), tissue factor (TF), and interleukin 1-beta (IL-1 beta) mRNA was evaluated in monocytes isolated from patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). There was a significant depression (66%) of the induced level of TF mRNA expression in
Our objective was to assess, in the clinical setting, the predictors of immune reconstitution (IR) and its relation with long-term clinical benefit, in HIV patients with advanced disease after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) through an observational study. A retrospective cohort study
