I The I discovery suggests earlier reatmeni is essential for longer life. On the ic record a tenth of these cells, however, were capable of growing new virus. Instead, said Haase, these cells seem to act as a reservoir of infection. I estimate that perhaps as many as 100 billion cells are latently infected at any given time and perhaps a billion cells are productively infected, he said.

I liken it to a constantly erupting volcano with latently infected cells feeding the productively infected ones. Productively infected T-cells are able to make new virus. Some of the latently infected cells can never become productive, but others may be turned on to make the virus. blood, it was a puzzle why this process inevitably progressed and occurred, Fauci said. The bottom line of the study is that this virus is present in the lymph nodes and it is actively replicating even when there is little or no virus activity detected in the blood.

In effect, said Fauci, the period that doctors call the latent stage of the HIV is not latent at all. The virus is thriving in the lymph nodes and insidiously eroding the bodys immune system. A second study, co-authored by Dr. Ashley T. Haase of the University of Minnesota, confirmed the high level of HIV in lymphoid tissue during the so-called latent period of disease.

He said the virus was actively infecting lymphocytes, called CD4 T-cells, that are in the lymph nodes. CD4 cells, the helper T-cells of the immune system, are the principal targets of HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus. The level of these T-cells is used as a key marker in the progress of HIV infection. Haase said he and his colleagues found an extraordinarily large number of infected CD4 T-cells in the lymph tissue. He said only about Dr.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a co-author of one of the studies, said the discovery answers one of the key mysteries about the AIDS virus disease. Fauci said many patients infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, experience an initial bloom of virus in their blood. Virus particles then become rare: in blood tests and patients may live without symptoms for a decade. Eventually, there is another bloom of virus, usually followed by death from some opportunistic infection. Since there was little virus in the Two groups of researchers reported in the journal Nature that after an AIDS virus infection starts, the virus congregates ip lymphoid organs, such as the tonsils, adenoids and lymph nodes.

There, the virus infects key bldod cells and kill cells that filter out viruses. After the filter cells are destroyed, infected blood cells and virus particles cascade into the blopd for the final, lethal stage of the disease, the researchers found. These findings, they said, show that the AIDS virus is never idle, and that drug therapy needs to start from the moment of diagnosis. BUICKS CADILLACS (Continued From Page 5) )us. Rettig said she purchased a 1978 mobile home unit July 26, 1978, $10,995 but the total cost was 30,227 after adding in interest, insurances and finance charges.

The lote was payable at a rate of $167 per month for 180 months and was supposed; to end in September 1993. Rettig 'Said the note has been assigned and transferred between the various defendants and during this time, they have lost or misplaced all records of the monthly payments made by Rettig from July 26, 1978, to Jan. 26, 1982. Rettig said that amounts to a minimum of 41 payments totaling $6,880 which she has paid and the defendants refuse to grant credit. The plaintiff seeks a declaratory judgment determining the true amount owed, injunctive relief ahddarhages of $25,000.

Susan C. and Ronald P. Miller, 570 Forest Marion, against Melissa M. Gamber, 1770 Caledonia-Climax Road, Caledonia, and Norman E. Howell, same address.

Susan Miller claims she was injured in an accident on state Route 4 in Dallas Township Nov. 6, 1992. Miller said she was southbound, near the intersection of state Route 294, when Gamber failed to stop for the stop sign and struck the passenger side of Millers 1992 Ford Mustang GT convertible. Miller said damages to the vehicle totaled $17,000. Howell owned the vehicle driven by Gamber.

Strauss Veal Feeds produced and sold a product called LiquiKalf, a liquid feed for veal calves consisting of a blend of condensed wiey, blended fat and emulsifier. The plaintiffs bought LiquiKalf from the defendant during 1991 and 195(2 and fed it to the veal calves. Reamsnyder said the result was that the veal calves became ill, required veterinary services, malnutrition and inadequate weight gain anchor died.

The plaintiff said the LiquiKalf was contaminated with bacteria when received from the defendant. Reamsnyder said the defendant was aware of the presence! of the bacteria, which caused Salmonellosis. The plaintiff claims LiquiKalf was sold and delivered to the plaintiff in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and that Strauss Veal Feeds made false; representations in selling the product and breached its contract The plaintiff seeks $25,000 in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages in three founts of the complaint and $359,948 in contractural damages on three tntittn no Jr li 4 1 til i 93 Pontiac Grand Am SE Cpe 93-240 Air, auto transmission, stereocasseite, ABS brakes, tilt wheel, auto, power door locks, rear defogger, much mote.
