Mechanisms that may allow circulating monocytes to persist as CD4 T cells diminish in HIV-1 infection have not been investigated. We have characterized steady-state gene expression signatures in… (More)
HIV-1 Nef has been demonstrated to be integral for viral persistence, infectivity, and the acceleration of disease pathogenesis (AIDS) in humans. Nef has also been detected in the plasma of… (More)
Circulating monocytes exhibit an apoptotic resistance phenotype during HIV viremia in association with increased MT expression. MTs are known to play an important role in zinc metabolism and immune… (More)
We have previously described an antiapoptotic steady-state gene expression profile in circulating human monocytes from asymptomatic viremic HIV(+) donors, but the mechanism associated with this… (More)
The negative factor (Nef) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an accessory protein that is thought to be integral to HIV-associated immune- and neuroimmune pathogenesis. Here, we show that… (More)
Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS)-transformed human T cells expressing terminal membrane proteins (TMPs) tyrosine kinase interacting protein (Tip) and saimiri transformation associated protein strain C… (More)
Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS)-transformed T-lymphocytes are permissive for both X4 and R5 strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). HVS-encoded proteins tyrosine-kinase interacting protein… (More)
Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS)-transformed human T cells become permissive for X4 and R5 strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), evidence that HVS-encoded proteins associated with T cell… (More)
