  • The primary focus of Dr. Mellors' research is to detect and characterize viral variants that are resistant to antiretroviral drugs. (upmc.com)
  • The equivalent interaction between TFV-DP and each examined HBV-RT variants suggests that binding affinity of TFV-DP to HBV-RT is not associated with delayed viral clearance. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Thereby, we want to favor subsequent elimination of formerly latently infected cells and also of the reactivated virus by cytopathic viral effects, immune surveillance mechanisms, and antiretroviral therapy. (usz.ch)
  • To augment the body's natural immune defenses, the Aethlon Hemopurifier® eliminates life-threatening disease targets that are often shielded from the immune system and not well addressed by traditional drug therapies. (prnewswire.com)
  • Immune escape is mainly caused by histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, abnormal antigen signaling mechanism, immunosuppressive components (such as HLA-G), Fas and its ligands to activate apoptosis and overexpression of other immunosuppressive molecules, such as lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3), T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) ( Steven and Seliger, 2018 ). (techscience.com)
  • We previously observed high variabilities of the viral reservoir sizes and decay in more than 1,000 individuals who were successfully receiving ART for at least 5 years. (usz.ch)
  • Episodes of intermittent viremia, e.g., viral blips, were significantly associated with viral reservoir size and slower decay (N. Bachmann et al. (usz.ch)
  • This raises an important question: Are the episodes of intermittent viremia the cause or the consequence of the slower viral reservoir decay? (usz.ch)
  • However, their precise site of action has not been elucidated to date and these drugs are not active against the beta-herpesviruses like HCMV ( Dropulic and Cohen, 2010 ). (frontiersin.org)
