Procedures addressed The inclusion of any procedure code in this table does not imply that the code is under management or requires prior authorization. Refer to the specific Health Plan's procedure code list for management requirements. Procedures addressed by this Procedure codes guideline HIV-1 Tropism Phenotyping 87999 HIV-1 Tropism Genotyping, Common 87901 HIV-1 Tropism Genotyping, Other 87906 What is HIV tropism testing for Maraviroc response Definition HIV tropism testing is used to help determine an individual's response to maraviroc (Selzentry®). Maraviroc is only effective against CCR5-tropic HIV-1. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) HIV replicates itself in humans by infecting T-cells with CD4 receptors (often called CD4 cells). HIV-1 enters the CD4 cell by binding one of two cell surface co-receptors: CCR5 or CXCR4.1,2 Tropism classifications Tropism is the ability of HIV-1 virus to use one or both of these co-receptors. There are three main tropism classifications:3 o CCR5 tropism (R5-tropic) — HIV-1 virus that only infects cells with the CCR5 co-receptor. o CXCR4 tropism (X4-tropic) — HIV-1 virus that only infects cells with the CXCR4 co-receptor. © 2020 eviCore healthcare.

  • Enhanced Monocyte Migration to CXCR3 and CCR5 Chemokines in COPD

Published on March 10, 2016 as doi: 10.1183/13993003.01642-2015 ORIGINAL ARTICLE IN PRESS | CORRECTED PROOF Enhanced monocyte migration to CXCR3 and CCR5 chemokines in COPD Claudia Costa1, Suzanne L. Traves1, Susan J. Tudhope1, Peter S. Fenwick1, Kylie B.R. Belchamber1, Richard E.K. Russell2, Peter J. Barnes1 and Louise E. Donnelly1 Affiliations: 1Airway Disease, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, London, UK. 2Chest Clinic, King Edward King VII Hospital, Windsor, UK. Correspondence: Louise E. Donnelly, Airway Disease, National Heart and Lung Institute, Dovehouse Street, London, SW3 6LY, UK. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients exhibit chronic inflammation, both in the lung parenchyma and the airways, which is characterised by an increased infiltration of macrophages and T-lymphocytes, particularly CD8+ cells. Both cell types can express chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor (CXCR)3 and C-C chemokine receptor 5 and the relevant chemokines for these receptors are elevated in COPD. The aim of this study was to compare chemotactic responses of lymphocytes and monocytes of nonsmokers, smokers and COPD patients towards CXCR3 ligands and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL)5. Migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, monocytes and lymphocytes from nonsmokers, smokers and COPD patients toward CXCR3 chemokines and CCL5 was analysed using chemotaxis assays. There was increased migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from COPD patients towards all chemokines studied when compared with nonsmokers and smokers. Both lymphocytes and monocytes contributed to this enhanced response, which was not explained by increased receptor expression.

  • Characterization of Resistance to a Potent D-Peptide HIV Entry Inhibitor
    Smith et al. Retrovirology (2019) 16:28 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12977-019-0489-7 Retrovirology RESEARCH Open Access Characterization of resistance to a potent D-peptide HIV entry inhibitor Amanda R. Smith1†, Matthew T. Weinstock1†, Amanda E. Siglin2, Frank G. Whitby1, J. Nicholas Francis1, Christopher P. Hill1, Debra M. Eckert1, Michael J. Root2 and Michael S. Kay1* Abstract Background: PIE12-trimer is a highly potent D-peptide HIV-1 entry inhibitor that broadly targets group M isolates. It specifcally binds the three identical conserved hydrophobic pockets at the base of the gp41 N-trimer with sub- femtomolar afnity. This extremely high afnity for the transiently exposed gp41 trimer provides a reserve of binding energy (resistance capacitor) to prevent the viral resistance pathway of stepwise accumulation of modest afnity- disrupting mutations. Such modest mutations would not afect PIE12-trimer potency and therefore not confer a selective advantage. Viral passaging in the presence of escalating PIE12-trimer concentrations ultimately selected for PIE12-trimer resistant populations, but required an extremely extended timeframe (> 1 year) in comparison to other entry inhibitors. Eventually, HIV developed resistance to PIE12-trimer by mutating Q577 in the gp41 pocket. Results: Using deep sequence analysis, we identifed three mutations at Q577 (R, N and K) in our two PIE12-trimer resistant pools. Each point mutant is capable of conferring the majority of PIE12-trimer resistance seen in the poly- clonal pools. Surface plasmon resonance studies demonstrated substantial afnity loss between PIE12-trimer and the Q577R-mutated gp41 pocket. A high-resolution X-ray crystal structure of PIE12 bound to the Q577R pocket revealed the loss of two hydrogen bonds, the repositioning of neighboring residues, and a small decrease in buried surface area.
