Influence of peak viral load on the extent of CD4(super +) T-cell depletion in Simian HIV infection
Article Abstract:
Simian HIV infection of macaques with CXCR4 tropic viruses results in early and profound CD4(super +) T-cell depletion in the first few weeks of infection. The dynamics of the interaction of virus and CD4(super +) cells are modeled over time to investigate the rate of CD4(super -) T-cell infection and death and it is indicated that the proportion of CD4(super -) cells destroyed is correlated with the peak viral load.

Interferon [gamma]-inducible protein 10 A predictive marker of successful treatment response in hepatitis C virus/HIV-coinfected patients
Article Abstract:
Inducible protein (IP)-10 is a marker of treatment outcome in hepatitis C virus (HCV)/HIV-coinfected patients are determined. It is concluded that IP-10 is a biomarker of HCV treatment outcome in difficult-to-treat HCV/HIV-coinfected patients.

Virus dynamics and immune responses during treatment in patients coinfected with hepatitis C and HIV
Article Abstract:
The infection of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) on human body, which can cause death, is described. The mathematical model to calculate half lives of the virus and HCV-infected cells in HIV-HCV-coinfected patients are discussed.
