De developed quickly determine HIV infection of computer programs

The University of Duisburg-Essen Germany 26 day communiqué said, researchers developed a rapid, accurate judgment I-AIDS virus infection (HIV-1) computer programs, the results will help to improve the level of treatment of AIDS.

The Communique says, is affected by somatic HIV-1 intrusion through virus shell membrane proteins gp120 and interactions between somatic CD4, and also under different conditions and use CCR5 and CXCR4 both complemented by somatic cell.

Generally speaking, in the early stages of infection, HIV-1 CCR5 infected a large number, but the CXCR4 infected marks coreceptor into advanced. Therefore, the ability to accurately verify the infected by somatic cell type for auxiliary monitoring progression and the remedy to be important.

Duisburg-Essen University Medical biotechnology researchers developed a computer program in a few seconds to figure out secondary receptor infected, their result accuracy up to 95%, compared with the traditional method, but much faster.

This result was published in the new issue of the United States the public library of science · computational biology journal.
