Genome-wide association study identifies single nucleotide polymorphism in DYRK1A associated with replication of HIV-1 in monocyte-derived macrophages

HIV-1 infected macrophages play an important role in rendering resting T cells permissive for infection, in spreading HIV-1 to T cells, and in the pathogenesis of AIDS dementia. During highly active anti-retroviral treatment (HAART), macrophages keep produ ...

Molecular drug susceptibility testing and genotyping of Mycobacterium leprae strains from South America

Stewart Cole, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh

Possible drug resistance in Mycobacterium leprae strains from Venezuela and three other South American countries was surveyed by molecular methods. None of the 230 strains from new leprosy cases exhibited drug resistance-associated mutations. However, two ...

Analysis of HIV-1 Expression Level and Sense of Transcription by High-Throughput Sequencing of the Infected Cell

Jacques Rougemont, Amalio Telenti

Next-generation sequencing offers an unprecedented opportunity to jointly analyze cellular and viral transcriptional activity without prerequisite knowledge of the nature of the transcripts. SupT1 cells were infected with a vesicular stomatitis virus G env ...

Tuberculosis drugs: new candidates and how to find more

Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn

The recent years have witnessed significant progress in the development of new drug candidates for the treatment of TB. While many of these are now in clinical trials, continued research is needed in order to sustain the drug discovery pipeline and meet th ...

Chemical Synthesis and Expression of the HIV-1 Rev Protein

Hilal Lashuel

The HIV-1 Rev protein is responsible for shuttling partially spliced and unspliced viral mRNA out of the nucleus. This is a crucial step in the HIV-1 lifecycle, thus making Rev an attractive target for the design of anti-HIV drugs. Despite its importance, ...

Three dimensional morphology of rabies virus studied by cryo-electron tomography

Paul Guichard

The rabies virus (RABV) continues to be a worldwide health problem. RABV contains a single-stranded RNA genome that associates with the nucleoprotein N. The resulting ribonucleoprotein complex is surrounded by matrix protein M, lipid bilayer and glycoprote ...

Advances in helminth immunology: optimism for future vaccine design?

Nicola Harris

Intestinal helminths infect approximately 2 billion people worldwide. Worm burdens correlate with disease morbidity and children generally harbor the largest numbers. The majority of intestinal helminths do not replicate within their host, and worm burdens ...

Combating HIV Type 1 with Peptide - Synthetic Polymer Conjugates

Maarten Danial

Polymer therapeutics is a class of (bio)hybrid materials that include a plethora of biologically active (synthetic) macromolecules that either consist of polymeric drugs, drug-polymer conjugates, peptide/protein-polymer conjugates or of drug, peptide or pr ...

A polymorphism in the leptin gene promoter is associated with anemia in patients with HIV disease

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti

To study factors associated with anemia and its effect on survival in HIV-infected persons treated with modern combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), we characterized the prevalence of anemia in the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) and used a candidate ...

Detection of Farnesyltransferase Interface Hot Spots through Computational Alanine Scanning Mutagenesis

Marta Andreia Da Silva Perez

In this study, we present a detailed characterization of the full α/β interface in the farnesyltransferase (FTase) enzyme, an important target in drug design efforts. This characterization is presented in terms of hot spots, warm spots, and null spots and ...
