Microarray analysis of cytokine and chemokine genes in the brains of macaques with SHIV‐encephalitis

Abstract excerpt

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-encephalitis results from a cascade of viral-host interactions that lead to cytokine and chemokine imbalance, which then leads to neuropathologic manifestations of the disease. These include macrophage/microglia activation, astrocytosis and neuronal dysfunction or death. As the molecular mechanisms of this process are poorly understood, we used Atlas human cytokine or cytokine...
