Photodynamic therapy Light stimulates a photosensitizer to release toxic singlet oxygen which destroys targeted cancer cells . See paper
Model of noninfectious HIV-1 entry into antigen presenting cells. The mannose-rich carbohydrates of gp120 initiate a noninfectious phagocytic pathway. This pathway links microbial antigen recognition by mannose receptors with presentation by CD1b, for the induction of cell-mediated immunity. See paper

Neurocysticercosis and HIV protection Co-infection of the central nervous system by opportunistic pathogens represents a common cause of consultation. Neurocysticercosis illustrates a parallel epidemic to that of AIDS. Epidemiological phenomenon suggests mutual protection between both infections. See paper

Molecular mimicry Immunologically cross-reactive proteins in the human brain that resemble the V3 loop of HIV GP120 have been identified. An immune response to the V3 loop that generates cross-reactive antibodies to cellular proteins may be an autoimmune mechanism by which HIV can damage the central nervous system. See paper

Neuropathogenesis of HIV-1 Infection Microglia infection by HIV has been pathologically associated with “HIV encephalitis”. Neurons and astrocytes infection by HIV has been associated with “HIV encephalopathy”. The HIV T tropic phenotype is responsible for astrocyte/neuron infection in absence of CD4 receptor and some cases the presence of CXCR4. See paper
