Overview

Brief Summary

The aim is to investigate the hypothesis that IL7-receptor polymorphisms contribute to the differential immune recovery of CD4 + T cells following HAART

Detailed Description

AIM: To examine the association between the four haplotypes of IL-7Rα gene and a cohort of HIV infected patients who have commenced HAART with varying CD4+ T lymphocyte responses. METHODS: IL-7Rα gene SNPs and haplotypes will be measured by constructing DNA pools, and PCR amplification and DNA sequencing. IL-7Rα expression will be examined using constitutive expression of IL-7Rα, IL-7Rα gene expression, and inducible expression of IL7Rα.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Men or women at least 18 years of age
  • First antiretroviral regimen composed of HAART as defined by at least three antiretrovirals
  • Controlled viremia for a period of at least 12 months following commencement of HAART. Controlled viremia is defined as HIV viral load of ≤ 500 copies/mL on bDNA testing (versions 2 and 3) and \<400 copies/ml measured by RT-PCR assay by 6 months treatment.
  • CD4 cell count \<500 at commencement of HAART
  • Measurement of CD4+ cell count on at least 3 time points, in the 12 months post commencement of HAART.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Exclude patients treated for HIV seroconversion illness
  • Exclude patients on immunomodulatory therapy such as IL-2, hydroxyurea or prednisolone or who have received an HIV therapeutic vaccine
