CD4 DEPLETION IN SIV-INFECTED MACAQUES RESULTS IN MACROPHAGE AND MICROGLIA INFECTION WITH RAPID TURNOVER OF INFECTED CELLS.

CD4 depletion in SIV-infected macaques results in macrophage and microglia infection with rapid turnover of infected cells.

In rhesus macaques (RMs), experimental depletion of CD4+ T-cells prior to SIV infection results in higher viremia and emergence of CD4-independent SIV-envelopes.In this study we used the rhesus recombinant anti-CD4 antibody CD4R1 to deplete RM CD4+ T-cells prior to SIVmac251 infection and investigate the sources of the increased viral burden and th

Multiple poliovirus-induced organelles suggested by comparison of spatiotemporal dynamics of membranous structures and phosphoinositides.

At the culmination of poliovirus (PV) multiplication, membranes are observed that contain phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) and appear as vesicular clusters in cross section.Induction and remodeling of PI4P and membranes prior to or concurrent with genome replication has not been well studied.Here, we exploit two PV mutants, termed EG and GG,

Early vascular healing after neXt-generation drug-eluting stent implantation in Patients with non-ST Elevation acute Coronary syndrome based on optical coherence Tomography guidance and evaluation (EXPECT): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

BackgroundThere is limited evidence about vessel wall healing response following implantation of next-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients admitted with a non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).Cumulative data indicate that optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging can optimize percutaneous coronary intervention results an
