Thalidomide inhibits lipoarabinomannan-induced upregulation of human immunodeficiency virus expression

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis accelerates the progression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. The results of this study, which show that thalidomide inhibits the upregulation of HIV-1 expression in U1 cells stimulated with mycobacterial lipoarabinomannans, support the rationale behind conducting controlled trials of this immunodeficiency agent with patients dually infected with HIV-1 and M. tuberculosis.
