The biology of the HIV-1 latent reservoir and implications for cure strategies

LB Cohn, N Chomont, SG Deeks - Cell host & microbe, 2020 - cell.com
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) inhibits HIV replication but is not curative. During ART, the
integrated HIV genome persists indefinitely within CD4+ T cells and perhaps other cells …

The latent reservoir of inducible, infectious HIV-1 does not decrease despite decades of antiretroviral therapy

NF McMyn, J Varriale, EJ Fray… - The Journal of …, 2023 - Am Soc Clin Investig
HIV-1 persists in a latent reservoir in resting CD4+ T cells despite antiretroviral therapy
(ART). The reservoir decays slowly over the first 7 years of ART (t 1/2= 44 months). However …

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 detection limit of clinical assays. However, some individuals experience persistent …

Prevention, treatment and cure of HIV infection

RJ Landovitz, H Scott, SG Deeks - Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2023 - nature.com
The development of antiretroviral therapy for the prevention and treatment of HIV infection
has been marked by a series of remarkable successes. However, the efforts to develop a …

Recommendations for measuring HIV reservoir size in cure-directed clinical trials

M Abdel-Mohsen, D Richman, RF Siliciano… - Nature medicine, 2020 - nature.com
Therapeutic strategies are being clinically tested either to eradicate latent HIV reservoirs or
to achieve virologic control in the absence of antiretroviral therapy. Attaining this goal will …

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 …

Spontaneous HIV expression during suppressive ART is associated with the magnitude and function of HIV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells

M Dube, O Tastet, C Dufour, G Sannier, N Brassard… - Cell Host & Microbe, 2023 - cell.com
Spontaneous transcription and translation of HIV can persist during suppressive
antiretroviral therapy (ART). The quantity, phenotype, and biological relevance of this …

Signatures of immune selection in intact and defective proviruses distinguish HIV-1 elite controllers

X Lian, C Gao, X Sun, C Jiang, KB Einkauf… - Science translational …, 2021 - science.org
Increasing evidence suggests that durable drug-free control of HIV-1 replication is enabled
by effective cellular immune responses that may induce an attenuated viral reservoir …

Longitudinal clonal dynamics of HIV-1 latent reservoirs measured by combination quadruplex polymerase chain reaction and sequencing

A Cho, C Gaebler, T Olveira, V Ramos… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
HIV-1 infection produces a long-lived reservoir of latently infected CD4+ T cells that
represents the major barrier to HIV-1 cure. The reservoir contains both intact and defective …
