HIV And Molecular Immunity: Prospects for the AIDS Vaccine
How old is the AIDS virus (HIV-1) and where did it come from? Is it the result of a recombinant event in simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs)? Why do SIVs naturally occur in a variety of nonhuman African primates without inducing AIDS in their natural hosts? HIV-1 has devastated human society, although chimpanzees carry an SIV that is genetically almost identical to HIV-1 but causes no known illness in these great apes. Medical books HIV And Molecular Immunity. How are Chimpanzees immune to HIV-1? Can humans acquire this immunity? Why do most newborns infected with HIV-1 in utero or during birth become long-term non-progressors while 20% rapidly develop AIDS and die in less than a year? Why are some adults asymptomatic for over 10 years after infection?
Dr. Omar Bagasra, an eminent molecular biologist, immunologist, and retrovirologist, has considered these puzzling questions for more than a decade and now offers intriguing new possibilities for the nature of human immunity and the development of an effective AIDS vaccine. This book is a provocative personal treatise on the origin, evolution and etiology of HIV-1 supported by a wealth of peer-reviewed scientific references. The compelling ideas presented in this volume will have an important bearing on HIV vaccine development and current lentiviral gene therapy protocols Medical books Hiv And Molecular Immunity: Prospects For The Aids Vaccine.
