HIV rapidly targets a diverse pool of CD4+ T cells to establish productive and latent infections

P Gantner, S Buranapraditkun, A Pagliuzza, C Dufour… - Immunity, 2023 - cell.com
Upon infection, HIV disseminates throughout the human body within 1–2 weeks. However,
its early cellular targets remain poorly characterized. We used a single-cell approach to …

Effector memory differentiation increases detection of replication-competent HIV-l in resting CD4+ T cells from virally suppressed individuals

ER Wonderlich, K Subramanian, B Cox… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Studies have demonstrated that intensive ART alone is not capable of eradicating HIV-1, as
the virus rebounds within a few weeks upon treatment interruption. Viral rebound may be …

Measuring the success of HIV-1 cure strategies

J Thomas, A Ruggiero, WA Paxton… - Frontiers in cellular and …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
HIV-1 eradication strategies aim to achieve viral remission in the absence of antiretroviral
therapy (ART). The development of an HIV-1 cure remains challenging due to the latent …

[HTML][HTML] Naive infection predicts reservoir diversity and is a formidable hurdle to HIV eradication

MR Pinzone, S Weissman, AO Pasternak… - JCI insight, 2021 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Historically, naive cells have been considered inconsequential to HIV persistence. Here, we
compared the contributions of naive and memory cells to the reservoirs of individuals with a …

HIV infected CD4+ T cell clones are more stable than uninfected clones during long-term antiretroviral therapy

S Guo, BT Luke, AR Henry, S Darko, LD Brandt… - PLoS …, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Although combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) blocks HIV replication, it is not curative
because infected CD4+ T cells that carry intact, infectious proviruses persist. Understanding …

Dynamic shifts in the HIV proviral landscape during long term combination antiretroviral therapy: implications for persistence and control of HIV infections

EM Anderson, FR Simonetti, RJ Gorelick, S Hill… - Viruses, 2020 - mdpi.com
Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) controls but does not eradicate HIV infection; HIV
persistence is the principal obstacle to curing infections. The proportion of defective …

Leveraging computational modeling to understand infectious diseases

AL Jenner, RA Aogo, CL Davis, AM Smith… - Current Pathobiology …, 2020 - Springer
Abstract Purpose of Review Computational and mathematical modeling have become a
critical part of understanding in-host infectious disease dynamics and predicting effective …

[HTML][HTML] HIV persistence in lymph nodes

R Banga, O Munoz, M Perreau - Current Opinion in HIV and AIDS, 2021 - journals.lww.com
HIV persistence in blood and distinct body compartments despite long-standing and potent
therapy is one of the major barriers to a cure. Given that the HIV reservoir is established …

[HTML][HTML] High levels of genetically intact HIV in HLA-DR+ memory T cells indicates their value for reservoir studies

BA Horsburgh, E Lee, B Hiener, JS Eden, TE Schlub… - Aids, 2020 - journals.lww.com
Objective: The contribution of HLA-DR+ memory CD4+ T cells to the HIV reservoir during
prolonged antiretroviral therapy is unclear as these cells are commonly excluded when …

The largest HIV-1-infected T cell clones in children on long-term combination antiretroviral therapy contain solo LTRs

JC Botha, D Demirov, C Gordijn, MG Katusiime… - Mbio, 2023 - Am Soc Microbiol
Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) suppresses viral replication but does not cure HIV
infection because a reservoir of infectious (intact) HIV proviruses persists in long-lived CD4+ …
