Background The underlying mechanisms of incomplete immune reconstitution in treated HIV-
positive patients are very complex and may be multifactorial, but perturbation of chemokine …

Background Chemokines are small chemotactic cytokines involved in inflammation, cell
migration, and immune regulation in both physiological and pathological contexts. Here, we …

Background The genotypic polymorphisms of CCR5, CCR2, and SDF1 were analyzed to
determine their impact as potential confounders with regard to disease progression because …

Background: CXCL13 is preferentially secreted by Follicular Helper T cells (TFH) to attract B
cells to germinal centers. Plasma levels of CXCL13 have been reported to be elevated …

The aim of this study was to investigate the modulation of plasma CXCL10, CCL20, CCL22,
CCL2, CCL17 and CCL24 levels in HIV-positive patients grouped according to extreme …

This study was performed to assess the association of CCR5Δ32 and SDF1-3′ A
polymorphisms with immunological recovery failure and to investigate the influence of …

The chemokine (CC motif) chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) is a structural homolog of CCL3
primarily produced by monocyte-derived cells with an M2 phenotype. Elevated levels of …

Background The HIV co-receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 play an important role in HIV infection
and replication. Therefore we hypothesize that long-term non-progressors (LTNP) with viral …

Objective: To measure CCR5 and CXCR4 chemokine receptor expression on CD4 and CD8
T cells in HIV-1 infection and to relate levels to the distribution of CD45RO memory and …

HIV‐1 infection and progression exhibits interindividual variation. The polymorphism in the
chemokine receptors CCR 5 and CXCR 4, the principal coreceptors for HIV‐1 and their …
