| Organization Description: | |
| Institute of Immunology Uzbekistan Academy of Science is one of leading research institutes in Central Asia investigating the genetics peculiarity of human pathogens. For many years several laboratories working on HIV and HCV topics. To the present time the Institute runs the national research project on «Molecular mechanisms of the drug resistance by tuberculosis and HIV» (2011-2015) financed by Uzbekistan government. The one of main goal of this investigation is revelation of full-panel local mutations associated with MDR/XDR. Institute of Immunology is very interesting on an international collaboration and participation in TB-Stop Partnership program | |

Contribution | |
| Please tell us how your organization will contribute to the Global Plan to Stop TB by briefly describing its involvement in any of the areas of work listed below: | |
|
Drug-Resistant TB: We plan to obtain a full panel of local MDR mutations TB-HIV: We will define the specific prevalent mutations in the Uzbek patients co-infected by TB and HIV and the prognostic meaning of such mutations. Laboratory Strengthening: The developed local MDR/XDR mutations panel will be used to develop modern methods based on the new-Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA) technologies. New Diagnostics: The developed local MDR/XDR mutations panel will be used to develop modern methods based on the new-Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA) technologies. New TB Drugs: By using a recombinant protein technology it will be obtained the model systems for the screening of candidate compounds that have a strong inhibition activity against Mycobacterium`s key enzymes, low toxicity for human organism and relative chip in the price of drug. Fundamental Research: Additionally we would like to understand the general molecular mechanism leading to the drug resistance. Especially an influence of DNA- adduct and other co-factors during treatment. |
