Studies of the Pathogenesis of HIV Infection in Human Peripheral Blood Cells and/or Body Fluids in People Living With and Without HIV

Sponsor

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

Enrollment

2,419 participants

Start Date

Mar 9, 1993

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Immunodeficiencies HIV Infectious Diseases

Summary

We are studying virologic and/or immunologic parameters of HIV infection and other infectious or non-infectious immune deficiency diseases in order to better understand the pathogenesis of HIV. Because of the lack of an adequate animal model it is generally necessary to utilize human peripheral blood cells for studying aspects of either in vivo or in vitro HIV infection. We wish to be able to continue to elucidate many pathogenic aspects of HIV infection in relation to other infectious or non-infectious immune regulation and dysregulation using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells as a model....
