High levels of anti-HIV-1 envelope antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid as compared to serum from patients with AIDS dementia complex
Trujillo JR, Navia BA, Worth J, Lucey DR, McLane MF, Lee TH, Essex M.
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr Hum Retrovirol. 1996 May 1;12(1):19-25. doi: 10.1097/00042560-199605010-00003
Identification of the envelope V3 loop as a determinant of a CD4-negative neuronal cell tropism for HIV-1
Trujillo JR, Wang WK, Lee TH, Essex M.
Virology. 1996 Mar 15;217(2):613-7. doi: 10.1006/viro.1996.0158.
Neuropathogenesis of HIV-1 Infection Microglia infection by HIV has been pathologically associated with “HIV encephalitis”. Neurons and astrocytes infection by HIV has been associated with “HIV encephalopathy”. The HIV T tropic phenotype is responsible for astrocyte/neuron infection in absence of CD4 receptor and some cases the presence of CXCR4.

Evaluation of autoantibodies to brain proteins in patients with AIDS dementia complex

Molecular mimicry between the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 V3 loop and human brain proteins
Trujillo JR, McLane MF, Lee TH, Essex M.
J Virol. 1993 Dec;67(12):7711-5. doi: 10.1128/JVI.67.12.7711-7715.1993.
Molecular mimicry Immunologically cross-reactive proteins in the human brain that resemble the V3 loop of HIV GP120 have been identified. An immune response to the V3 loop that generates cross-reactive antibodies to cellular proteins may be an autoimmune mechanism by which HIV can damage the central nervous system
