TL;DR: The findings provide new and important evidence for maternal and paediatric influenza immunisation, and should inform future immunisation policy particularly in low-income and lower-middle-income countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical T cell immunodominance and epitope entropy determine HIV-1 escape

TL;DR: It is explained how CD8+ T cells can exert significant and sustained HIV-1 pressure even when escape is very slow and that within an individual, the impacts of other T cell factors on HIV- 1 escape should be considered in the context of immunodominance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission of HIV-1 CTL escape variants provides HLA-mismatched recipients with a survival advantage
Denis Chopera,Zenda Woodman,Koleka Mlisana,Mandla Mlotshwa,Darren P. Martin,Cathal Seoighe,Florette K. Treurnicht,Debra Assis de Rosa,Winston Hide,Salim S. Abdool Karim,Clive M. Gray,Carolyn Williamson +11 more
TL;DR: Investigating the relationship between the genotypes of transmitted viruses and prognostic markers of disease progression shows that infection with HLA-B*57/B*5801 escape mutants is associated with lower viral load and higher CD4+ counts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influenza Vaccination of Pregnant Women and Protection of Their Infants

TL;DR: In the HIV-infected women in the per-protocol immunogenicity arm, receipt of IIV3 resulted in increases in geometric mean titers of antibodies, which were significantly higher than titers in placebo recipients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitating the multiplicity of infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 subtype C reveals a non-poisson distribution of transmitted variants (Journal of Virology (2009) 83, 8, (3556-3567))
