The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $408,200 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the University of California, Irvine (UCI). The goal of this 2-year research project, with an award period from Aug 1, 2024 to Jun 30, 2026, is to determine whether nucleic acid-containing immune complexes (ICs) drive the immune activation and endothelial dysfunction that contribute to reduced life expectancy in people living with HIV. The research will involve 1) measuring the inflammatory response to nucleic acid-containing ICs in transgenic mice, and 2) using human vascularized micro-organs to assess the interactions between these ICs, monocytes, and endothelial cells. The findings from this work could lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies to provide a functional cure for HIV.
