  1. ncbi Mucosal innate immunity as a determinant of HIV susceptibility
    Shehzad M Iqbal
    Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada
    Am J Reprod Immunol 59:44-54. 2008
    ..Given the great challenges to the development of HIV microbicides and vaccines, identification and enhancement of 'natural' innate immune defenses present attractive avenues for development of safe, non-toxic microbicides...

    Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
    AIDS 23:1669-77. 2009
    ..However, these factors do not entirely explain this model of natural immunity to HIV. We hypothesized that protection may be mediated by innate immune proteins in the genital tract of HIV-resistant sex workers...

    Department of Medical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
    J Infect Dis 192:728-38. 2005
    ..This is the first study to show elevated levels of beta chemokines and CD4+ T cells in the genital tracts of women who are exposed to HIV-1 and yet are uninfected...
