HIV-induced activation of innate and inflammatory pathways in colorectal mucosa with high level of antiviral factors in F-HIV.

The colorectal tissue biopsies were exposed to HIV-1BaL (250 ng/mL), either free (F-HIV), complement-opsonized (C-HIV), or virions opsonized by a cocktail of complement and antibodies (CI-HIV) or …
