SeP regulates insulin resistance and innate immunity, and possibly induces immune tolerance in the liver. Therefore, its upregulation may cause the increased risk of type 2 diabetes seen in HCV-infected patients
Conformational changes in HIV Env that allow for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
Treatment strategies that change the Env conformation and open it up to antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity may be an approach to HIV infection.
Production of unique subtype C SHIVs that can replicate in rhesus macaques
Authors identified unique subtype C T/F SHIVs that can replicate in rhesus macaques with improved acute phase kinetics while not altering phenotype.
