Polymorphism in TAP genes may influence these proteins further affecting the antigen peptide presentation, indirectly resulting in the viral escape mechanism from cell-mediated immunity in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
In conclusion, the highly sensitive SPF(10) LiPA system shows that a very high proportion of HIV-infected women in Brazil are infected with HPV and often carry multiple HPV genotypes.
Molecular and serologic techniques were used to identify products of HLA class I, class II and transporter (TAP) genes (also part of the MHC) in homosexual seroconverters to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).
