Briz V, Poveda E, López M, González Mdel M, Soriano V, Benito JM Impact of antiretroviral therapy on chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 expression in HIV patients followed for over 2 years. [Journal Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't] AIDS 2008 Jul 11; 22(11):1371-4.
Suppression of HIV replication using highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) might influence chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 expression on infected cells and therefore modulate the activity of chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 antagonists. Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 expression was examined longitudinally in 26 HIV-infected adults who initiated HAART. Long-term suppression of plasma HIV-RNA did not significantly influence chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 expression on T lymphocytes. Therefore, the activity of chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 antagonists should not differ before and following HIV suppression on HAART.
