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 …

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
immunodeficiency in HIV-1-infected individuals. However, viral replication resumes within …

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 …

A quantitative approach for measuring the reservoir of latent HIV-1 proviruses

KM Bruner, Z Wang, FR Simonetti, AM Bender… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
A stable latent reservoir for HIV-1 in resting CD4+ T cells is the principal barrier to a cure,–.
Curative strategies that target the reservoir are being tested, and require accurate, scalable …

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 …

Single-cell multiomics reveals persistence of HIV-1 in expanded cytotoxic T cell clones

JA Collora, R Liu, D Pinto-Santini, N Ravindra… - Immunity, 2022 - cell.com
Understanding the drivers and markers of clonally expanding HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cells is
essential for HIV-1 eradication. We used single-cell ECCITE-seq, which captures surface …

Combination therapy with anti-HIV-1 antibodies maintains viral suppression

P Mendoza, H Gruell, L Nogueira, JA Pai, AL Butler… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Individuals infected with HIV-1 require lifelong antiretroviral therapy, because interruption of
treatment leads to rapid rebound viraemia. Here we report on a phase 1b clinical trial in …

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
barrier to achieving a cure. Potential causes are homeostatic proliferation, effects of HIV-1 …

Broadly neutralizing anti-HIV-1 monoclonal antibodies in the clinic

M Caskey, F Klein, MC Nussenzweig - Nature medicine, 2019 - nature.com
Combination anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has revolutionized the treatment and prevention of
HIV-1 infection. Taken daily, ART prevents and suppresses the infection. However, ART …

[HTML][HTML] Differential decay of intact and defective proviral DNA in HIV-1–infected individuals on suppressive antiretroviral therapy

MJ Peluso, P Bacchetti, KD Ritter, S Beg, J Lai… - JCI insight, 2020 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
BACKGROUND The relative stabilities of the intact and defective HIV genomes over time
during effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) have not been fully characterized. METHODS …
