CXCR4 mediates entry and productive infection of syncytia-inducing (x4) hiv-1 strains in primary macrophages
(2000)CCR5 and CXCR4 are the main coreceptors for non-syncytia-inducing (NSI) and syncytia-inducing (SI) HIV-1 strains, respectively. NSI HIV-1 isolates do not infect either human lymphoid or monocytoid cell lines, and this ...

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