| Breast cancer from the approach of genomics and the estrogen receptor SIV infection is associated with a hypercoagulable status that is closely correlated with inflammation and T cell immune activation; hypercoagulation is even more severe in old nonhuman primates (NHP) infected with SIV. We performed antiretroviral treatments in young and old NHPs infected with SIV to assess whether or not this approach is sufficient to improve coagulation, inflammation and immune activation status and to assess the effect of age. ELISA, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry will be used to measure numerous biomarkers of immune activation and inflammation in the animals for inclusion in a publication. |
