Influence of Coinfecting Pathogens on HIV Expression: Evidence for a Role of Toll-Like Receptors
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Immune activation of HIV gene expression as a consequence of the host response to coinfecting pathogens has been implicated as an important factor in AIDS progression. Immune responsiveness to many of the infectious agents associated with HIV has been demonstrated to depend on a family of innate recognition molecules, known as Toll-like receptors (TLR). Therefore, TLR-pathogen interactions could play an indirect...
