Abstract excerpt
Because monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 is an important cofactor in HIV neuropathogenesis, we investigated the relationship between MCP-1 genotype and expression in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We evaluated a genetic polymorphism in the MCP-1 promoter at position -2578 (alternatively designated -2518) in 98 HIV-infected subjects who had contemporaneously collected plasma and CSF. CSF MCP-1 levels were highest...
