Combination Therapy of AIDS
ISBN: 9783764366001 / Angielski / Twarda / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. HIV infection has been a greater challenge to current medicine than any other viral disease ofmodem times. HIV leads to a persistent infection and the virus has an immense genetic flexibility under selective pressure. During its replica tive cycle in patients, HIV accumulates mutations at such a high rate that the selective pressure inflicted on the immune system, or generated by antiviral drugs rapidly triggers the appearance of escape mutants. Currently available drugs, when used singly, are not capable of suppressing virus replication in patients to such a level that the generation of...
