Basically there are two types of TB: pulmonary TB (whereby the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis typically affects the lungs) and extra pulmonary TB (whereby the bacteria affect other organs).

Results: Using Vpu proteins from a primary subtype C and the pNL4-3 subtype B isolates of HIV-1, we show oligomerization of the full-length protein as well as its transmembrane (TM) domain bygenetic, biochemical and biophysical methods. We also provide direct evidence of the presence ofVpu pe[r]

The particularly long period of time of detection of theviral genome suggests that proviral HIV can be present incells with a very long half-life, probably in resting CD4+ Tcells that keep HIV suppressed. Moreover we find no evi-dence of active or productive infection consistent[r]
