Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. CCR5, other chemokine receptor and phenotype expression on cells derived from cord blood of healthy neonates and cord blood from neonates born to HIV-1-infected mothers. 2. define chemokine receptor upregulation as well as phenotype alterations in cells from cord blood by proliferative stimulation via a.o. cytokines (e.g. IL-2, IL-7). 3. determine productive HIV-1 infection rates in vitro of naïve T cells and other white blood cells derived from cord blood of healthy neonates and cord blood from neonates born to HIV-1-infected mothers. 4. Test whether infection (3.) can be inhibited by CCR5 antagonists and monoclonal antibodies against other chemokines receptors. 5. rate of infection of the above cells isolated from the two sets of cord blood with HIV-1 strains obtained from HIV-1 infected children. 6. assess the repertoire of co-receptors for HIV-1 infection on CD4+ T cells and other white blood cells from young patients, i.e. CCR5, CCR2 and CXCR4 expression in the perspective of extensive subset definition of T cells (memory / naïve etc) 7. define the genomic form of HIV-1 in the subsequent white blood cells of HIV-infected infants, e.g. comparing the form of HIV-1 in naïve, memory T cell subsets as well as blood monocytes.
