A five-amino-acid (TDNYT) sequence of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) shares homology with the proposed attachment sequences of the human immunodeficiency virus 0. Synthetic peptides with these sequences have previously been shown to block viral envelope (gp120) binding and HIV infectivity a
## Abstract The ability of a variety of epithelial, embryonal, placental, and neuronal cells to express the CD4 antigen and to be infected by human immuno deficiency virus 1 (HIV‐1) was examined. Only two (IMR‐32 and HeLa‐T4) expressed CD4 detectable by indirect immunofluorescence, and both were in
Patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) develop more rapid fibrosis than those infected with HCV only. In HIV/HCV-coinfected patients, fibrosis progression correlates with HIV RNA levels, suggesting a direct role of HIV in liver fibrogenesis. Chemokine
