Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-2-specific T lymphocyte proliferative responses in HIV-2-infected and in HIV-2-exposed but uninfected individuals in Guinea-Bissau
Andersson S, Larsen O, Da Silva Z, Linder H, Norrgren H, Dias F, et al.
Clin Exp Immunol . 2005 Feb; 139(3):483-9. PMID: 15730394
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-2-specific T lymphocyte proliferative responses were determined in cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-2-exposed uninfected individuals, HIV-2-infected individuals and HIV-negative controls in Guinea-Bissau. Increased HIV-2-specific...

Antigen-specific beta-chemokine production and CD8 T-cell noncytotoxic antiviral activity in HIV-2-infected individuals
Ahmed R, Norrgren H, Da Silva Z, Blaxhult A, Fredriksson E, Biberfeld G, et al.
Scand J Immunol . 2005 Jan; 61(1):63-71. PMID: 15644124
Human immunodeficiency virus-2 (HIV-2) is less pathogenic than HIV-1, and the disease progression in HIV-2-infected individuals seems to be similar to that seen in HIV-1-infected long-term nonprogressors. Cell-mediated immune responses...

Ethical issues in research on control of the HIV/AIDS epidemic: report from a workshop of the world federation of scientists, Erice, Sicily, Italy, 22-24 August 2003
de The G, Buonaguro F, Charpak N, Franca Junior I, Hutton J, Thorstensson R, et al.
Acta Paediatr . 2004 Oct; 93(8):1125-8. PMID: 15456208
In research on control of the HIV/AIDS epidemic there are many ethical issues to be considered. The problem of personal autonomy versus the interest of society to prevent the spread...

MhcDRB-sequences from cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) of different origin
Leuchte N, Berry N, Kohler B, Almond N, Legrand R, Thorstensson R, et al.
Tissue Antigens . 2004 May; 63(6):529-37. PMID: 15140028
Cynomolgus macaques are frequently used in biomedical research. However, in contrast to their closest relative, the rhesus macaque, little is known about their Mhc genes except for the DQB1 locus....

Reduction of the diagnostic window in three cases of human immunodeficiency-1 subtype E primary infection with fourth-generation HIV screening assays
Weber B, Thorstensson R, Tanprasert S, Schmitt U, Melchior W
Vox Sang . 2003 Aug; 85(2):73-9. PMID: 12925157
Background And Objectives: The influence of genetic variability on the sensitivity of serological diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has, to date, been poorly investigated. The aim of the...
