The lentivirus human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS by interacting with a large
number of different cells in the body and escaping the host immune response against it. HIV …

Microglia are associated with central nervous system (CNS) pathology of both Alzheimer's
disease (AD) and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In AD, microglia …

This book grew out of a scientific review, originally published in Microbiological Reviews. It
has been updated and expanded-now citing more than 2100 references (100 pages of the …

Cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage are targets for human immunodeficiency virus-1
(HIV-1) infection in vivo. However, many laboratory strains of HIV-1 that efficiently infect …

A major obstacle in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) eradication is the ability of
the virus to remain latent in a subpopulation of the cells it infects. Latently infected cells can …

The development of antiretroviral therapy against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS) has been an intense research effort since the discovery of the causative agent …

The binding of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein gp120 to the
cell surface receptor CD4 has been considered a primary determinant of viral tropism. A …

The availability of highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART) has not eliminated HIV-1
infection of the central nervous system (CNS) or the occurrence of HIV-associated …

There is substantial evidence supporting the CD4 molecule as the principal cellular receptor
for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). A number of truncated recombinant …

Although the CD4 molecule is the principal cellular receptor for the human
