The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis and treatment of AIDS or an HIV-related disorder or disorders. Specifically, the present invention identifies the differential expression of 1414, 1481, 1553, 34021, 1720, 1683, 1552, 1682, 1675, 12825, 9952, 5816, 10002, 1611, 1371, 14324, 126, 270, 312, 167, 326, 18926, 6747, 1793, 1784 and 2045 genes in tissues relating to AIDS or an HIV-related disorder, relative to their expression in normal, or non-AIDS or HIV-related disease states, and/or in response to manipulations relevant to AIDS or an HIV-related disorder. The present invention describes methods for the diagnostic evaluation and prognosis of various HIV-related disorders, and for the identification of subjects exhibiting a predisposition to such conditions. The invention also provides methods for identifying a compound capable of modulating AIDS or an HIV-related disorder or disorders. The present invention also provides methods for the identification and therapeutic use of compounds as treatments of AIDS or an HIV-related disorder.
A method for identifying a compound capable of treating AIDS or an HIV-related disorder, comprising assaying the ability of the compound to modulate 1414, 1481, 1553, 34021, 1720, 1683, 1552, 1682, 1675, 12825, 9952, 5816, 10002, 1611, 1371, 14324, 126, 270, 312, 167, 326, 18926, 6747, 1793, 1784 or 2045 nucleic acid expression or 1414, 1481, 1553, 34021, 1720, 1683, 1552, 1682, 1675, 12825, 9952, 5816, 10002, 1611, 1371, 14324, 126, 270, 312, 167, 326, 18926, 6747, 1793, 1784 or 2045 polypeptide activity, thereby identifying a compound capable of treating aids or an hiv-related disorder.
A method for identifying a compound associated with AIDS or an HIV-related disorder comprising:
A method for modulating AIDS or an HIV-related disorder in a cell comprising contacting a cell with a 1414, 1481, 1553, 34021, 1720, 1683, 1552, 1682, 1675, 12825, 9952, 5816, 10002, 1611, 1371, 14324, 126, 270, 312, 167, 326, 18926, 6747, 1793, 1784 or 2045 modulator, thereby modulating AIDS or an HIV-related disorder in the cell.
A method for treating a subject having AIDS or an HIV-related disorder characterized by aberrant 1414, 1481, 1553, 34021, 1720, 1683, 1552, 1682, 1675, 12825, 9952, 5816, 10002, 1611, 1371, 14324, 126, 270, 312, 167, 326, 18926, 6747, 1793, 1784 or 2045 polypeptide activity or aberrant 1414, 1481, 1553, 34021, 1720, 1683, 1552, 1682, 1675, 12825, 9952, 5816, 10002, 1611, 1371, 14324, 126, 270, 312, 167, 326, 18926, 6747, 1793, 1784 or 2045 nucleic acid expression comprising administering to the subject a 1414, 1481, 1553, 34021, 1720, 1683, 1552, 1682, 1675, 12825, 9952, 5816, 10002, 1611, 1371, 14324, 126, 270, 312, 167, 326, 18926, 6747, 1793, 1784 or 2045 modulator, thereby treating said subject having AIDS or an HIV-related disorder.
A method for modulating viral replication in a cell comprising contacting a cell with a 1414, 1481, 1553, 34021, 1720, 1683, 1552, 1682, 1675, 12825, 9952, 5816, 10002, 1611, 1371, 14324, 126, 270, 312, 167, 326, 18926, 6747, 1793, 1784 or 2045 modulator, thereby modulating viral replication in the cell.
