Delayed HIV-1 infection of CD4+ T lymphocytes from therapy-naïve patients demonstrated by quantification of HIV-1 DNA copy numbers.

abstract：:Streptococcus suis infection induces formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in vitro; however, the contribution of NETs-mediated killing to the pathogenesis of S. suis in vivo is yet to be elicited. The findings of the present study indicated that extracellular DNA fiber can be induced in a murine model in...
