Characteristics of a GA article[4]

1. The article should be well written, clear and concise, and follows Wikipedia guidelines.

2. The article is properly referenced, contains inline references, follows wikipedia referencing guidelines and contains no original research.

3. The article provides broad coverage of the topic yet stays focus on the main subjects that are worth mentioning.

4. The article portrays a neutral/unbiased platform.

5. The article remains consistent and is not routinely changed often.

6. The article contains some properly cited images that support the topics content.

Characteristics of a B article[4]

1. The article has citations when necessary and contains some inline citations.

2. The article adequately covers the topics matter and does not contain any obvious inaccuracies and omissions.

3. The format of the article is properly structured and the content flow is easy to follow.

4. The article is properly written with minimal grammatical errors.

5. The article provides necessary illustrations and diagrams in areas that are necessary.

6. The article is written in a manner that is easily understood by average individuals and does not contain unnecessary jargon.

Utilizing ZFN for target disruption of HIV co-receptor CCR5

HIV requires CD4 and a co-receptor CCR5 to cellular entry and infection.[5] Thus isolating and targeting disruption of the CCR5 coded gene would be an effective way to prevent HIV entry to CD4 T-cells. [5] Treatment of CD4 cells with zinc-finger nucleases allows the coded gene to be altered, silencing the expression of CCR5 chemokine receptors, as a result, preventing HIV from utilizing and chemokine receptors to enter the cell. [5]

HIV/HCV co-infection may lead to cognitive impairment

Co-infection of both HIV and HCV leads to diminished cognition and reduced neuropsychological performance.[6] Utilizing antiretroviral therapy effectively improves human immune system in addition to prolonging survival of HIV patients, however individuals who are co-infected with both HIV and HCV still exhibit cognitive impairment.[6] Thus co-infected individuals with controlled HIV viral load are could benefit from anti-HCV therapy, as it would reduce cognition impairment.
