Two additional patients with CCR5-tropic HIV had maraviroc (a CCR5 antagonist) empirically added to an EFV-based regimen at the time of transplantation to provide additional theoretical protection to the graft from HIV infection. Table 2. Antiretroviral Treatment and HIV Replication during the Pre- ...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inhibit a drop in immunocompetence of a person infected with a new type of a virus by a method wherein virus is exterminated by thermal treatment of blood of a person infected with the new type of a virus and a part of viruses is given an obstacle to let ...
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a neurotropic pathogen that causes lethal encephalitis. The high susceptibility and massive proliferation of JEV in neurons lead to extensive neuronal damage and inflammation within the central nervous system. Despite

While Abs capable of neutralizing the infecting virus maybe readily produced, only 20–30% of patients make Abs that can neutralize a broad spectrum of viruses, and typically after several years4–7. These so-called broadly neutralizing Abs (bNAbs) target the CD4-binding site (CD4-bs) on gp...
