In vitro experiments indicate that components of the host present in body fluids may prevent the attachment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to target cells. Fibronectin (Fn), a dimeric 440-kDa extracellular matrix adhesion protein, is secreted by mesenchymal cells and assembled into i

Two hundred thirteen haemophilic patients were studied for the presence of GBV-C RNA and anti-E2 antibodies soon after their first treatment with unsterilised factor concentrates and in their most recent sample. An assessment was made to determine whether coinfection with HIV had any effect on the p
The clinical utility of a flow cytometric assay (FCA) for intracellular HIV p24 antigen was evaluated in a group of HIV-1-infected subjects. A previously described method, p24-FCA (1), was modified to minimize nonspecific staining and to include irrelevant isotype-matched control antibodies. Blood m
We have previously demonstrated that a 23-amino acid peptide derived from the V3 loop of the surface glycoprotein of the HIV-1 strain MN is able to bind CD4 and to enhance HIV-1 infection. Further studies have suggested that the peptide/CD4 interaction induces an increase in both CD4 expression and
