Antigen-driven clonal selection shapes the persistence of HIV-1–infected CD4+ T cells in vivo

FR Simonetti, H Zhang, GP Soroosh… - The Journal of …, 2021 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Clonal expansion of infected CD4+ T cells is a major mechanism of HIV-1 persistence and a

The HIV-1 proviral landscape reveals that Nef contributes to HIV-1 persistence in effector memory CD4+ T cells

G Duette, B Hiener, H Morgan… - The Journal of …, 2022 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Despite long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV-1 persists within a reservoir of CD4+ T
cells that contribute to viral rebound if treatment is interrupted. Identifying the cellular …

Latency reversal agents affect differently the latent reservoir present in distinct CD4+ T subpopulations

J Grau-Expósito, L Luque-Ballesteros, J Navarro… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Latency reversal agents (LRAs) have proven to induce HIV-1 transcription in vivo but are
ineffective at decreasing the size of the latent reservoir in antiretroviral treated patients. The …

Longitudinal HIV sequencing reveals reservoir expression leading to decay which is obscured by clonal expansion

MR Pinzone, DJ VanBelzen, S Weissman… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
After initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART), a rapid decline in HIV viral load is followed by a
long period of undetectable viremia. Viral outgrowth assay suggests the reservoir continues …
