2. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)
● Is a virus that attacks the immune system, in this case the CD4
lymphocytes, therefore, the body can no longer defend itself against
infections. Besides it will lead to AIDS
● You can get HIV from contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal
fluids.
● Symptoms: fever, sore throat, muscle ache, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes
and skin rash
● Test: to diagnose HIV infection they will use a sample of your blood or
saliva. If the test is positive, a test to detect HIV DNA or RNA will be
done to be sure.

3. inflammation
● It is a response of the immune system to damage in the
body.

4. OBJECTIVE
To identify host single-nucleotide
variants (SNVs) associated with
neurocognitive impairment (NCI) in
perinatally HIV-infected (PHIV) children.

5. METHODS
Real time PCR
● invitro enzymatic reaction that amplifies a specific DNA
sequence millions of times.
● It is used cDNA as a substrate to analyze the mRNA
expression of a gene of interest

6. methods
INMUNOBLOOTING
● Detection and characterization of proteins by
recognition between antigen and antibody

7. MÉTODOS
SECUENCIACIÓN DEL EXOMA COMPLETO
Técnica para conocer
la composición de
todos los exones de
una persona
Se compara esta
secuencia con una
secuencia de
referencia para
identificar mutaciones
Se usó para identificar posibles variantes
genéticas asociadas con deterioro cognitivo y
así poder estudiar la relación entre esos
polimorfismos y la neuroinflamación

8. MÉTODOS
ELISA
Técnica serológica en la que se
identifica ya sea un antígeno o
anticuerpo al utilizar un antígeno o
anticuerpo que fue absorbido a una
fase sólida o una superficie
Se usó en este artículo para cuantificar la IL-1β que
había en los sobrenadantes de cultivo de células de
la microglia

Consisten with the
hypothesis that
increased
inflammation would
lead to increased a
risk for
neurocgnitive
impairment and
decreased
inflammation would
lead to a decreased
risk, knockdown of
RETREG1 and YWHAH
were associated with
increased NLRP3
inflammasome
actvation.
Additionally, we
found that knockdown
of RETREG1, YWHAH
and CCRL2 alter
autophagy, which is
an important
regulator of NLRP3
inflammasome
activity

14. conclusions
● Molecular biology through the identification of
regulatory proteins in the operon of prokaryotes has
helped in the creation of treatments that can help to
stop infectious processes
● Methods as the genome-wide exome sequencing are extremely
important when we need to know which gene is mutated and
causing an affection in the patient, and with that
information is easier to know the treatment
● The knowledge of the genes that can lead to a disease
make possible the knockout of those and in that way they
are silenced and the patient won't express the illness
that those genes could cause
