      Changes in T Cell Receptor Excision DNA Circle (TREC) Levels in HIV Type 1-Infected Subjects Pre- and Post-Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy 

      Touloumi, G.; Pantazis, N.; Karafoulidou, A.; Mandalaki, T.; Goedert, J. J.; Kostrikis, Leontios G.; Hatzakis, Angelos E. (2004)
      The T cell receptor excision DNA circle (TREC) level is an independent predictor of HIV-1 disease prognosis. We studied the temporal changes in TREC levels prior to and after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) ...

      Effect of recent thymic emigrants on progression of HIV-1 disease 

      Hatzakis, Angelos E.; Touloumi, G.; Karanicolas, R.; Karafoulidou, A.; Mandalaki, T.; Anastassopoulou, C. G.; Zhang, L.; Goedert, J. J.; Ho, David D.; Kostrikis, Leontios G. (2000)
      Background. The concentration of T-cell receptor-rearrangement excision DNA circles (TREC) in peripheral-blood T cells is a marker of recent thymic emigrant αβ T cells. We studied the predictive ability of measurements of ...

      Measuring recent thymic emigrants in blood of normal and HIV-1-infected individuals before and after effective therapy 

      Zhang, L.; Lewin, S. R.; Markowitz, M.; Lin, L. -H; Skulsky, E.; Karanicolas, R.; Yuxian, H.; Xia, J.; Tuttleton, S.; Vesanen, M.; Spiegel, H.; Kost, R.; Van Lunzen, J.; Stellbrink, H. -J; Wolinsky, S.; Borkowsky, W.; Palumbo, P.; Kostrikis, Leontios G.; Ho, David D. (1999)
      The role of the thymus in HIV-1 pathogenesis remains unclear. We developed an assay to quantify the number of recent thymic emigrants in blood based on the detection of a major excisional DNA byproduct (termed α1 circle) ...

      Recent thymic emigrants and prognosis in T- and B-cell childhood hematopoietic malignancies 

      Petridou, E.; Klimentopoulou, A. E.; Moustaki, M.; Kostrikis, Leontios G.; Hatzakis, Angelos E.; Trichopoulos, D. (2002)
      The concentration of T-cell receptor rearrangement excision DNA circles (TRECs) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is currently known to be a marker of recent thymic emigrants. We evaluated the hypothesis that ...
