Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound inducing activation of HLA-E-restricted CD8 T cells and/or NK cells in a human subject, and reducing HIV viral load, such as glatiramer acetate and glatiramer acetate related active substances and products, for use in the treatment of HIV infection. Macaques chronically infected by SIV have been treated with glatiramer acetate. One of the animals had already progressed to the stage of AIDS. We injected 18 mg of glatiramer acetate three times per week for only 2 weeks. Surprisingly, a strong impact on viral load was observed in response to the treatment. Viremia decreased by 1 log during glatiramer acetate treatment. Even more surprising was the fact that this decrease persisted after stopping the treatment reaching almost a 2 logs decrease in one animal. This is a major result as compared to cART as stopping cART leads to a rebound of the viral load within days.

Abstract: A device for diagnosis by DNA comprises: a porous substrate comprising at least: an area for depositing a sample, the sample comprising at least one target compound; a plurality of channels positioned in the thickness of the porous substrate; an area, referred to as the “diagnostic area”, comprising at least one reactive compound suitable for reacting with a so-called target compound; an area for depositing a carrier vector suitable for being transported by capillarity into all of areas and channels: each of the areas being linked to the others by at least one element chosen from a channel and an area, a means for locally conditioning the temperature of the diagnostic area.
