    • Evaluation of the FACSPresto, a New Point of Care Device for the Enumeration of CD4% and Absolute CD4+ T Cell Counts in HIV Infection 

      Makadzange, Azure Tariro; Bogezi, Carola; Boyd, Kathryn; Gumbo, Anesu; Mukura, Dorinda; Matubu, Allen; Ndhlovu, Chiratidzo Ellen (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Introduction: Enumeration of CD4+ T lymphocytes is important for pre-ART disease staging and screening for opportunistic infections, however access to CD4 testing in resource limited settings is poor. Point of care (POC) ...
    • Palmitoylated APP Forms Dimers, Cleaved by BACE1 

      Bhattacharyya, Raja; Fenn, Rebecca H.; Barren, Cory; Tanzi, Rudolph E.; Kovacs, Dora M. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      A major rate-limiting step for Aβ generation and deposition in Alzheimer’s disease brains is BACE1-mediated cleavage (β-cleavage) of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). We previously reported that APP undergoes palmitoylation ...
    • A Subset of Latency-Reversing Agents Expose HIV-Infected Resting CD4+ T-Cells to Recognition by Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes 

      Jones, R. Brad; Mueller, Stefanie; O’Connor, Rachel; Rimpel, Katherine; Sloan, Derek D.; Karel, Dan; Wong, Hing C.; Jeng, Emily K.; Thomas, Allison S.; Whitney, James B.; Lim, So-Yon; Kovacs, Colin; Benko, Erika; Karandish, Sara; Huang, Szu-Han; Buzon, Maria J.; Lichterfeld, Mathias; Irrinki, Alivelu; Murry, Jeffrey P.; Tsai, Angela; Yu, Helen; Geleziunas, Romas; Trocha, Alicja; Ostrowski, Mario A.; Irvine, Darrell J.; Walker, Bruce D. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Resting CD4+ T-cells harboring inducible HIV proviruses are a critical reservoir in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated subjects. These cells express little to no viral protein, and thus neither die by viral cytopathic ...
    • TCR Affinity Associated with Functional Differences between Dominant and Subdominant SIV Epitope-Specific CD8+ T Cells in Mamu-A*01+ Rhesus Monkeys 

      Osuna, Christa E.; Gonzalez, Ana Maria; Chang, Hsun-Hsien; Hung, Amy Shi; Ehlinger, Elizabeth; Anasti, Kara; Alam, S. Munir; Letvin, Norman L. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Many of the factors that contribute to CD8+ T cell immunodominance hierarchies during viral infection are known. However, the functional differences that exist between dominant and subdominant epitope-specific CD8+ T cells ...
