Evaluation of anti-HIV-1 (Retroviridae: Orthoretrovirinae: Lentivirus: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1) activity of 6HP and 3TC in vitro using MT-4 cell line variants with different replicative activity.

Introduction: Chemotherapy of HIV infection remains the only means of treating the disease. The process of development new and improving previously developed drugs is therefore considered a priority. One of the preclinical stage of drug efficacy testing is research in the virus-cell model system .

[The effect of sodium deoxyribonucleate with iron complex on the expression of surface markers of MT-4 cells infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) (Retroviridae: )].

Introduction: The persistence of immune dysfunction during therapy has serious consequences for the health of HIV-infected people. Therefore, an important direction is the search for drugs that can reduce the inflammatory potential of the immune system and serve as an additional component of antiviral therapy. Aim ‒ to study the effect of the immunomodulatory drug Sodium deoxyribonucleate with iron complex (DNA-Na-Fe) on the expression of activation markers in MT-4 cells infected with HIV-1.

Higher Infectivity of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Sensitive Cells with a Modification of the CCR5 Gene.

As a natural mutation of the human ccr5 gene has been shown to confer resistance to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, a new avenue has opened in the development of alternative treatment approaches through genome editing. One of the two chemokine co-receptors of the plasma membrane is utilized by HIV-1 to infect CD4 cells. HIV-1 strains that utilize CCR5 circulate in early infection, and strains that utilize CXCR4 circulate at advanced stages.

[Antiviral and virucidal activity of sodium deoxyribonucleate and its complex with iron against viruses of different kingdoms and families].

Introduction: The urgent problem of modern medicine is the fight against acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI). To combat ARVI, drugs of wide antiviral potency are needed, as well as immunomodulating drugs. Such antiviral and immunomodulatory effects has sodium deoxyribonucleate (DNA-Na) and its complex with iron (DNA-Na-Fe) developed on the basis of double-stranded DNA of natural origin.

[Expression of integrins β1, α4 and cell adhesion molecule ICAM-1 in the presence of sodium deoxyribonucleate with ferrum complex (DNA-Na-Fe) by MT-4 cells transformed by human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (Retroviridae: Orthoretrovirinae: Deltaretrovirus: Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1)].

Introduction: The important role of integrins (IG) in the initiation and development of cancer processes makes these structures convenient targets for the development of immunomodulatory therapeutic drugs that have an effect directly on these molecules. Among the latter, IG β1, α4 and cell adhesion receptor ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1) are of particular interest. Immunomodulators are capable of changing the IG activity through non-specific mechanisms, which, however, in some cases can cause a decrease in the protective functions of the immune system and health deterioration.
