Human leukocyte antigen class I and class II allele frequencies and HIV-1 infection associations in a Chinese cohort
Article Abstract:
A polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSPs) was used to perform low-resolution class I and II human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing of a cohort of 393 subjects from mainland China. The data is expected to contribute to the database of allele frequencies and associations with HIV infection in the Chinese population.

T(sub H)1 to T(sub H)2 shift of cytokines in peripheral blood of HIV-infected patients is detectable by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction but not by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay under nonstimulated conditions
Article Abstract:
Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction can be used to detect messenger RNAs of different cytokines. Cytokines are immune system proteins that may occur in abnormal amounts in HIV patients.

Prediction of imminent complications in HIV-1-infected patients by markers of lymphocyte apoptosis
Article Abstract:
Annexin V binding may predict the risk of complications in HIV infection. Annexin V binding is a marker of cell death, which affects many T cells during HIV infection.
