Viral evolution and escape during acute HIV-1 infection.
The extensive genetic diversity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) presents a significant barrier to the development of an effective and durable HIV vaccine. This variability not only makes it difficult to identify the targets against which immune responses should be directed, but it also confers on the virus the capacity for rapid escape from effective immune responses. Here, we de...
متن کاملInfection risks during longterm rituximab therapy change over time.
In the recent report from the German Registry of Autoimmune Disease (GRAID), Roll, et al showed that rituximab (RTX) was well tolerated with good clinical efficacy in patients with refractory antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV)1. However, we would like to share some concerns about their statement that RTX does not increase the rate for infections. The rate for severe...
متن کاملPopulation genomics of intrapatient HIV-1 evolution
Many microbial populations rapidly adapt to changing environments with multiple variants competing for survival. To quantify such complex evolutionary dynamics in vivo, time resolved and genome wide data including rare variants are essential. We performed whole-genome deep sequencing of HIV-1 populations in 9 untreated patients, with 6-12 longitudinal samples per patient spanning 5-8 years of i...
متن کاملInter and intrapatient evolution of hepatitis C virus.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has a short replication time, high mutation rates and large population sizes, all of which make it an excellent experimental model for evolution studies, because evolution can be visualized in real-time. In this review, we discuss the implications to study HCV evolution at the interpatient and intrapatient levels of infection. The HCV interpatient dynamics is relatively ...
متن کاملAntibody Responses during Hepatitis B Viral Infection
Hepatitis B is a DNA virus that infects liver cells and can cause both acute and chronic disease. It is believed that both viral and host factors are responsible for determining whether the infection is cleared or becomes chronic. Here we investigate the mechanism of protection by developing a mathematical model of the antibody response following hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. We fitted the...
