Journal ArticleDOI

Current Approaches for Diagnosis of Influenza Virus Infections in Humans.

TL;DR: Diagnostic approaches currently available for detection of influenza viruses in humans, including viral isolation in cell culture, immunofluorescence assays, nucleic acid amplification tests, immunochromatography-based rapid diagnostic tests, etc are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of HIV infection by passive immunization with HIV immunoglobulin.

TL;DR: It is shown that HIVIG protected against a challenge dose tenfold lower than that used previously, implying that HIV vaccines should induce neutralizing antibody and may not need to induce cell-mediated immunity to be protective against exposure to HIV.
Journal Article

HIV-1-Tat modulates the function of monocytes and alters their interactions with microvessel endothelial cells. A mechanism of HIV pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The studies demonstrate that many of the effects of HIV infection on monocyte homotypic and heterotypic adhesion, protease secretion, and disruption of the endothelium can be mimicked by treatment with HIV-Tat protein alone, and suggest a mechanism where monocytes could be inappropriately activated by HIV- Tat, causing them to extravasate into underlying tissues and ultimately contribute to tissue damage as seen during the progression of AIDS.
