OBJECTIVETo study the quantity of anti-R7V in individuals infected with HIV and AIDS patients and its relation with the progression of disease.
METHODSELISA and precipitation and other methods were used to investigate the quantity of anti-R7V in asymptomatic long-term survivors and AIDS patients.
RESULTSPositive rate and quantity of anti-R7V were higher in the HIV active ones and AIDS. It showed that the quantity and positive rate of anti-R7V were rather high in dissolving test.
CONCLUSIONSIt is strong suggestion for anti-R7V to obstruct the replication of virus by interfering the connection between HIV with CCR5 or CXCR4 and so it impossible HIV entering to CD4+ T cells.
