Increased HLA-DR expression on peripheral blood monocytes in subsets of subjects with primary HIV infection is associated with elevated CD4 T-cell apoptosis and CD4 T-cell depletionRonnie L Gascon
University of California at San Francisco, Department of Medicine, 94110, USA
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr 30:146-53. 2002..002). We conclude that monocyte activation as defined by elevation of CD14/DR expression correlates to CD4 T-cell depletion in primary HIV infection, and is predictive of a poor CD4 T-cell response to HAART in a subset of patients...- MCP-1 chemokine receptor CCR2 is decreased on circulating monocytes in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS)Rongzhen Zhang

San Francisco General Hospital, 995 Potrero Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA
Blood 104:942-7. 2004..These data indicate that immunologic activation set point is established early in HIV infection, and that this set point determines the rate at which CD4+ T cells are lost over time... - Circulating endotoxin and systemic immune activation in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS)Rongzhen Zhang
