}In this report the role played by human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) in the pathogenesis of HIV-1-related thrombocytopenia was investigated. CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells were purified from the bone marrow (BM) of HIV-l(+) thrombocytopenic patients, HIV-1(+) nonthrombocytopenic individuals, HlV-l(-) patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and HlV-l(-) normal donors. CD34+ cells from HIV-l(+) thrombocytopenic individuals alone showed a reduced capacity to give rise to… CONTINUE READING
