BackgroundMean duration of recent infection (MDRI) and misclassification of long-term HIV-1 infections, as proportion false recent (PFR), are critical parameters for laboratory-based assays for estimating HIV-1 incidence. Recent review of the data by us and others indicated that MDRI of LAg-Avidity EIA estimated previously required recalibration. We present here results of recalibration efforts using >250 seroconversion panels and multiple statistical methods to ensure accuracy and consensus.MethodsA total of 2737 longitudinal specimens collected from 259 seroconverting individuals infected with diverse HIV-1 subtypes were tested with the LAg-Avidity EIA as previously described. Data were analyzed for determination of MDRI at ODn cutoffs of 1.0 to 2.0 using 7 statistical approaches and sub-analyzed by HIV-1 subtypes. In addition, 3740 specimens from individuals with infection >1 year, including 488 from patients with AIDS, were tested for PFR at varying cutoffs.ResultsUsing different statistical methods, MDRI values ranged from 88–94 days at cutoff ODn = 1.0 to 177–183 days at ODn = 2.0. The MDRI values were similar by different methods suggesting coherence of different approaches. Testing for misclassification among long-term infections indicated that overall PFRs were 0.6% to 2.5% at increasing cutoffs of 1.0 to 2.0, respectively. Balancing the need for a longer MDRI and smaller PFR (<2.0%) suggests that a cutoff ODn = 1.5, corresponding to an MDRI of 130 days should be used for cross-sectional application. The MDRI varied among subtypes from 109 days (subtype A&D) to 152 days (subtype C).ConclusionsBased on the new data and revised analysis, we recommend an ODn cutoff = 1.5 to classify recent and long-term infections, corresponding to an MDRI of 130 days (118–142). Determination of revised parameters for estimation of HIV-1 incidence should facilitate application of the LAg-Avidity EIA for worldwide use. 相似文献

Ocular infection of immunocompetent (BALB/c) mice with wild-type herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) 17+ may lead to acute fatal encephalitis; however, in surviving animals, a latent (nonproductive) infection of the nervous system is established. In contrast, 17+ infection invariably kills mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID mice) within 2 weeks. Ocular infection of immunocompetent mice with a mutant HSV-1 strain, in1814, which does not produce a functional alpha-transinducing protein, results in no detectable viral replication in the nervous system during the time corresponding to the acute phase of infection, no mortality, and the establishment of latency. In SCID mice, however, the in1814 virus establishes a unique, slowly progressing infection. In studying the courses of in1814 infection in SCID and BALB/c mice, we found that although intact B- and/or T-lymphocytic functions were required for the control of viral replication in the nervous system, some of the infected neurons of SCID mice seemed to be able to restrict in1814 replication and harbor the virus in a latent state. 相似文献
