Measurements of total and integrated HIV DNA demonstrate sporadic blips of unintegrated HIV DNA in HIV-positive patients on HAART
Methods We developed and validated a sensitive and precise assay to measure HIV integration. Total and integrated HIV DNA were then measured in a cross-sectional series of patients on HAART and in two patients longitudinally. The ratios of total over integrated were then calculated to determine the extent of unintegrated HIV DNA present in patient samples. The errors in the ratios were calculat...
متن کاملHIV: Persistence through division
A long-lived latent reservoir for HIV-1 persists in CD4+ T cells despite antiretroviral therapy and is the major barrier to cure. In this issue of JEM, Hosmane et al. show that T cell proliferation could explain the long-term persistence of this reservoir.
متن کاملHIV: Persistence through division
HIV infection continues to be a global epidemic, with almost 37 million individuals infected worldwide. Despite considerable effort, there is no vaccine and, once contracted, there is no cure for HIV infection (Escolano et al., 2017). HIV-1 infection can be suppressed for decades by combination antiretroviral therapy, which targets multiple steps in the viral life cycle. However, HIV-1 persists...

متن کاملImmunogenicity of a New HIV-1 DNA Construct in a BALB/c Mouse Model
Background: Cell mediated immunity, especially cytotoxic T cell responses against HIV-1 infection, plays a critical role in controlling viral replication and disease progres-sion. DNA vaccine is a novel technology which is known to stimulate strong cellular immune responses. Many DNA vaccines have been tested for HIV infection but there is still no effective vaccine against this infection. Cons...
