459 Peculiarities of HIV-specific Immune Response in Discordant Couples
excessive amounts (HAE type II). Previously, we have found strong association between baseline level of functional C1-inhibitor and severity of HAE. Our aim was to investigate complement activation products in HAE, during a follow-up period, and to analyze the relationship between these products and severity of disease. Methods: 107 HAE patients (96 HAE type I, 11 type II) and 113 healthy contr...
متن کاملCan the immune response control HIV infection?
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) constitutes an unprecedented challenge to medical science. Once an HIV infection is established, its clinical course, while protracted , is generally inexorable. With the possible exception of a group of recently described "long-term nonpro-gressors," virtually all HIV-infected individuals eventually develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), the outco...
متن کاملMaking sense of the HIV immune response.
A considerable amount of new information on HIV immunology has been generated over the past several years using novel techniques designed to assess HIV-specific immune responses. An understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in immune response and of these novel assessment techniques can aid the clinician in interpreting the literature in the area and considering the potential impact of new...
متن کاملInduction of Specific Humoral Immune Response in Mice against a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Chimeric PilQ/PilA Protein
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, is a common cause of healthcare-associated infections in immunocompromised individuals. The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant strains has made P. aeruginosa infections progressively difficult to treat. In this study we evaluated the effect of a chimeric protein containing a P. aeruginosa PilQ fragment and the PilA disulfide loo...
متن کاملImmune Response to Standard Hepatitis B Vaccination in HIV-Infected Patients
Background: Due to their similar routes of transmission, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection occurs considerably. HBV infection progresses more rapidly in HIV-infected patients. Therefore, HBV vaccination of all non-immune HIV infected patients is recommended. On the other hand, HIV-infected subjects have suboptimal responses to HBV vaccine. In this study...
