HLA-associated susceptibility to HIV-1 infection

Abstract: SUMMARYWe studied HLA antigen distribution of 50 heterosexual partners of HIV+ drug abusers with more than I year of sexual exposure to HIV, 36 children born to seropositive mothers and 61 haemophiliac patients exposed to presumably infectious clotting factor concentrates. B52 and B44 antigens were associated with HIV resistance while B51 was associated with HIV susceptibility. Forty-nine HIV+ drug abusers, spouses of heterosexual partners studied and 25 HIV+ mothers of the children were also typed. DRl 1 phen… Show more

“…This observation contradicts a previous study in which this allele was not associated with either slower or faster AIDS progression. 50 The association of the B52 HLA-B*52 associated with non-progression to AIDS SLM Teixeira et al antigen with resistance to HIV was first described in 1992 by Fabio et al, 51 but since then there has been no other study corroborating this finding. Recently, HLA-B*52 was linked to a strong effect on viral load during early time points but had no significant effect on the long-term control of HIV-1.…”

“…Whether B44-restricted CTL responses to EW9 influence disease progression is not clear yet. Results from earlier analyses investigating B44 as a protection or risk factor for HIV-1 infection have been ambiguous (8,9,34). A negative influence on drug efficacy has been demonstrated for both HLA-B44 (A. Saitoh, C. Powell, T. Fenton, C. Fletcher, and S. Spector, oral abstract 51d presented at the 12th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, 2005) and the E35D substitution (1,25).…”
