Detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Nucleocapsid Protein p7 In Vitro and In Vivo
Description :
We developed and evaluated an immunoassay for the detection and quantification of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) nucleocapsid protein p7 using electrochemiluminescence technology. The assay had a dynamic range of 50 to 20,000 pg/ml and a lower detection limit equivalent to approximately...

Description :
Serum samples from 429 cancer patients, 82 unpaid blood donors, and 74 paid blood donors were tested for hepatitis C virus (HCV) markers in two commercially available enzyme immunoassays (EIAs). A total of 229 of 429 (53.4%) cancer patients were positive by the two EIAs. A total of 34 of 156 (21.8%)...

Description :
Sequential serum samples from 13 homosexual men who seroconverted for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were tested for HIV antigen. In one of these men, who developed the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), HIV antigenaemia preceded the onset of AIDS by more than a year and p...

Description :
To investigate the effect of persistent HIV infection on the immune system, we studied leukocyte functions in 14 asymptomatic homosexual men (CDC group II/III) who were at least two years seropositive, but who still had normal numbers of circulating CD4+ T cells. Compared with age-matched heterosexu...

Description :
Objectives: To test and characterize the dependence of viral load on gender in different countries and racial groups as a function of CD4 T-cell count. Methods: Plasma viral load data were analysed for > 30 000 HIV-infected patients attending clinics in the USA [HIV Insight™ (Cerner Corporation, Vie...

BACKGROUND: Studies considering the risk of atherosclerotic disease (AtD) associated with the use of HAART have reported inconsistent results. METHODS: Data on antiretroviral therapy (ART) use, risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), AtD and death from other causes in 18 603 HIV-infected pati...
