CC chemokines induce neutrophils to chemotaxis, degranulation, and alpha-defensin release

Article Abstract:

Various confocal microscopic techniques and FACScan are used to report that the members of the cohort containing beta-chemokines have much higher numbers of lower buoyant-density neutrophiles in their blood. The results show that the innate immunity of the cohort plays a very significant role in inhibiting the transmission of HIV, as the CC chemokines induce neutrophiles to chemotaxin degranulation and alpha-release of the cells.

Challenges to diagnosis of HIV-associated wasting

Article Abstract:

Among the several challenges in detecting HIV wasting, the detection of progressive, often subtle pathogenic changes in weight and body composition that constitute the first step toward diagnosis of HIV wasting is of prime importance. It is found that body composition studies that single out change in body cell mass, the key marker of protein energy malnutrition, provide the most sensitive indicator of HIV wasting.

Role of beta-chemokines in HIV-1 infection of dendritic cells maturing from CD34+ stem cells

Article Abstract:

CD34+ stem cells can become infected with HIV and beta-chemokines can increase the risk of infection by some strains of HIV but not others. CD34+ stem cells are the precursor of immune system cells called dendritic cells.
