DIFFERENTIAL PACKAGING OF INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINES/ CHEMOKINES AND OXIDATIVE STRESS MODULATORS IN U937 AND U1 MACROPHAGES-DERIVED EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES UPON EXPOSURE TO TOBACCO CONSTITUENTS.

Smoking, which is highly prevalent in HIV-infected populations, has been shown to exacerbate HIV replication, in part via the cytochrome P450 (CYP)-induced oxidative stress pathway.Recently, we have shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs), derived from tobacco- and/or HIV-exposed macrophages, alter HIV replication in macrophages Framed Canvas by ce
