Impact of alemtuzumab-mediated lymphocyte depletion on SIV reservoir establishment and persistence. by Benjamin Varco-Merth, Morgan Chaunzwa, Derick M Duell, Alejandra Marenco, William Goodwin, Rachel Dannay, Michael Nekorchuk, Danica Shao, Kathleen Busman-Sahay, Christine M Fennessey, Lorna Silipino, Michael Hull, William J Bosche, Randy Fast, Kelli Oswald, Rebecca Shoemaker, Rachele Bochart, Rhonda MacAllister, Caralyn S Labriola, Jeremy V Smedley, Michael K Axthelm, Miles P Davenport, Paul T Edlefsen, Jacob D Estes, Brandon F Keele, Jeffrey D Lifson, Sharon R Lewin, Louis J Picker, Afam A Okoye

“…However, 3 alemtuzumab-treated RM that had lowest levels of pre-ART viremia, failed to rebound after ART withdrawal, in contrast to controls with similar levels of SIV replication. These observations suggest that alemtuzumab therapy has little to no ability to reduce well-established RCVRs but may facilitate RCVR destabilization when pre-ART virus levels are particularly low.…”

Expression and Secretion of CXCL-8 and CXCL-10 From Mycobacterium Bovis BCG-Infected Human Epithelial Cells: Role of IL-4 by Patricia Méndez-Samperio, Elena Miranda, Abraham Vázquez

“…We found that, although M. bovis BCG induced gene expression of CXCL-8 and CXCL-10 in M. bovis BCG-infected human epithelial cells, CXCL-8 mRNA level was significantly reduced by IL-4, whereas no significant effect of IL-4 was observed on CXCL10 mRNA level. In addition, IL-4 decreased CXCL-8 (in a graded and significant manner) but not CXCL-10 secretion. …”
