Journal ArticleDOI

Cytokine expression in the brain during the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

TL;DR: There is a relative state of “immune activation” in the brains of HIV‐positive compared to HIV‐negative individuals, and a potential role for the immune system in the pathogenesis of HIV encephalopathy is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of cell death by Bcl-XL through caspase interaction.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the recognition/cleavage site of Bcl-XL may facilitate protection against cell death by acting at the level of caspase activation and that cleavage of BCl-XL during the execution phase of cell death converts B cl-XL from a protective to a lethal protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of suppression of cell-mediated immunity by measles virus

TL;DR: Cross-linking of CD46, a complement regulatory protein that is the cellular receptor for MV, with antibody or with the complement activation product C3b similarly inhibited monocyte IL-12 production, providing a plausible mechanism for MV-induced immunosuppression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conversion of lytic to persistent alphavirus infection by the bcl-2 cellular oncogene

TL;DR: In this article, the Sindbis virus (SV) infection induces programmed cell death in non-neuronal cells, and if so, whether virus-induced cell death can be blocked by transfection with bcl-2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracerebral cytokine messenger RNA expression in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome dementia.

TL;DR: Levels of IL‐4 messenger RNA were decreased in dementia and the loss of this and other macrophage downregulatory factors in demented patients may contribute to the increased expression of tumor necrosis factor‐α.
