The latest evidence for possible HIV-1 curative strategies
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection remains a major health issue worldwide. In developed countries, antiretroviral therapy has extended its reach from treatment of people living with HIV-1 to post-exposure prophylaxis, treatment as prevention, and, more recently, pre-exposure prophylaxis. These healthcare strategies offer the epidemiological tools to curve the epidemic in rich...
متن کاملCCR5Δ32 mutation and HIV infection: basis for curative HIV therapy.
The C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is expressed on potential human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) target cells and serves as the predominant co-receptor for viral entry during initial transmission and through the early stages of infection. A homozygous Δ32 mutation in the CCR5 gene prevents CCR5 cell surface expression and thus confers resistance to infection with CCR5-tropic HIV strains. Transp...
متن کاملNew treatments in myeloma--is cure possible?
Myeloma is a malignancy of the plasma cells derived from the B lymphocyte series. It is characterized by early and wide dissemination of tumour cells resulting in bone destruction, anaemia, infections, hypercalcaemia, renal failure and occasionally symptoms of hyperviscosity. The myeloma cells may either produce local destruction ofbone or produce paraprotein ('M' band in the serum), or the lig...
متن کاملTwo optimal treatments of HIV infection model ∗
The purpose of this work is to investigate an optimal control model of drug treatment of HIV infection of CD4 T-cells. The optimal controls represent the efficiency of drug treatment in inhibiting viral production and preventing new infections. Existence for the optimal control pair is established and the Pontryagin’s maximum principle is used to characterize these optimal controls. The optimal...
متن کاملIs an HIV vaccine possible?
The road to the discovery of a vaccine for HIV has been arduous and will continue to be difficult over the ensuing twenty years. Most vaccines are developed by inducing neutralizing antibodies against the target pathogen or by using attenuated strains of the particular pathogen to engender a variety of protective immune responses. Unfortunately, simple methods of generating anti-HIV antibodies ...
