The fourth-generation cephalosporin, cefepime, has an antimicrobial spectrum that makes it a valuable antibiotic for empirical treatment of neutropenic fever. Randomized trials have proven the efficacy and safety of cefepime in neutropenic fever. However, 2 recent meta-analyses have shown an increased all-cause mortality for cefepime.

Developing an immunotherapy to keep human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication suppressed while discontinuing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is an important challenge. In the present work, we evaluated in vitro whether dendritic cells (DC) electroporated with gag mRNA can induce HIV-specific responses in T cells from chronically infected subjects. Monocyte-derived DC, from therapy-naïve and HAART-treated HIV-1-seropositive subjects, that were electroporated with consensus codon-optimized HxB2 gag mRNA efficiently expanded T cells, secreting gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and interleukin 2 (IL-2), as well as other cytokines and perforin, upon restimulation with a pool of overlapping Gag peptides.
