Through long - established collaborations in Durban and Kimberley, these studies in particular seek to define: the immune responses that are
effective in control of HIV infection; the impact of HLA - mediated selection pressure on HIV at the individual and population level; the mechanisms of HIV non-pathogenicity; the nature and consequences of ontogeny of the virus - specific immune response; and finally the prospects for interventions including antiretroviral therapy, alone or in combination
with broadly neutralising
antibodies and / or T - cell vaccines, to achieve HIV eradication.
May 29, 2015 Pembrolizumab shows real promise against head and neck cancer Immunotherapy

The development of CMI is the most crucial factor in determining the ultimate outcome of FIPV infection.4, 5,12 Cats that produce humoral
antibodies but fail to generate an
effective CMI response develop effusive FIP.4, 5 Experimental evidence demonstrates that cats
with non-effusive FIP often have preceding, transient effusive disease.4 Thus, noneffusive FIP is believed to result from a partially protective CMI response that is unable to wall off and contain the virus.4
