To accomplish this goal, Itell and colleagues designed a CRISPR screen to interrogate the importance of 2000 candidate host genes in infection of primary T cells by either an R5 or an X4 HIV virus.

An immune response that likely evolved to help fight infections appears to be the mechanism that drives human ...

As drugmakers take lessons from oncology in developing CAR T cells for other diseases, they must contend with risks that ...

Using this model, the researchers proved that the virus can infect the cells directly and that the cells can't protect themselves against it through ... such as organ transplant recipients and people ...

These help you fight infections and HIV-related cancers. Your doctor can tell because your CD4 levels (sometimes called T cell levels) start to go up. Second, you become far less likely to pass ...

Their initial research focused on using the platform as an HIV T cell vaccine. While the first human clinical trials for the HIV vaccine established safety of the platform, the researchers have ...

Some antibodies can directly neutralise foreign organisms by immobilising them or (in the case of viruses) blocking their ability to enter cells. Basic information on HIV and the immune system ...

HIV is a virus called human immunodeficiency virus that attacks your immune cells called CD4 T lymphocytes, which causes your immune system to fail. Without these cells, your body can’t fight ...
