Proteomic Profiling of Exosomes Derived from Plasma of HIV-Infected Alcohol Drinkers and Cigarette Smokers
This study presents a proteomic analysis of plasma-derived exosomes from HIV-infected alcohol drinkers and smokers. Among the proteins altered due to drug-abuse, hemopexin and properdin were of highest significance. These proteins can be potential biomarkers for co-morbid conditions associated with drug abuse in HIV-patients.
