Monocytes are precursors of tissue macrophages, which are major targets of human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Although few blood monocytes are infected …

Background: in response to a variety of stimuli, phagocytes release large quantities of
reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are essential for bacterial killing. However, excessive …

Although changes in function of monocytes from AIDS patients have previously been
reported, the functional deficits that could occur in monocytes from asymptomatic HIV …

Oxidative burst responses of monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) were
studied in 40 subjects with HIV infection of different clinical stages. Oxidative burst was …

It is generally acknowledged that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in a
variety of natural processes in cells. If increased to levels which cannot be neutralized by the …

We postulated that changes in the cell surface display of molecules that facilitate cell-cell
and cell-matrix adhesions may reflect the changing immunosurveillance capacity of blood …

Oxidative stress is thought to be involved in the progression of human immunodeficiency
virus type 1 (HIV‐1)‐induced disease. We examined the effect of Superoxide (O2−) on HIV …

HIV infection affects various parts of the immune system, including the CD4+ lymphocytes
and mononuclear phagocytes, and causes a progressive immunodeficiency. This renders …

This review describes the potential role of oxidative stress as a cofactor of disease
progression from asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection to the …

Oxidative stress has been proposed to be involved in the immunologic defeat observed in
effector calls of the immune system as well as in lymphocyte cell death and viral replication …
