Targeting the latent reservoir for HIV-1

S Sengupta, RF Siliciano - Immunity, 2018 - cell.com
Antiretroviral therapy can effectively block HIV-1 replication and prevent or reverse

HIV latency

RF Siliciano, WC Greene - Cold Spring …, 2011 - perspectivesinmedicine.cshlp.org
HIV-1 can establish a state of latent infection at the level of individual T cells. Latently
infected cells are rare in vivo and appear to arise when activated CD4+ T cells, the major …

Clonally expanded HIV-1 proviruses with 5′-leader defects can give rise to nonsuppressible residual viremia

JA White, F Wu, S Yasin… - The Journal of …, 2023 - Am Soc Clin Investig
Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) halts HIV-1 replication, decreasing viremia to below

The HIV-1 reservoir in eight patients on long-term suppressive antiretroviral therapy is stable with few genetic changes over time

L Josefsson, S Von Stockenstrom… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
The source and dynamics of persistent HIV-1 during long-term combinational antiretroviral
therapy (cART) are critical to understanding the barriers to curing HIV-1 infection. To …
