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

M Abdel-Mohsen, D Richman, RF Siliciano… - Nature medicine, 2020 - nature.com

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 …

[HTML][HTML] HIV-1 integration landscape during latent and active infection

LB Cohn, IT Silva, TY Oliveira, RA Rosales, EH Parrish… - Cell, 2015 - cell.com
The barrier to curing HIV-1 is thought to reside primarily in CD4+ T cells containing silent
proviruses. To characterize these latently infected cells, we studied the integration profile of …

Single-cell characterization and quantification of translation-competent viral reservoirs in treated and untreated HIV infection

M Pardons, AE Baxter, M Massanella… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
The phenotypic characterization of the cells in which HIV persists during antiretroviral
therapy (ART) remains technically challenging. We developed a simple flow cytometry …

Expanded cellular clones carrying replication-competent HIV-1 persist, wax, and wane

Z Wang, EE Gurule, TP Brennan… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
The latent reservoir for HIV-1 in resting CD4+ T cells is a major barrier to cure. Several lines
of evidence suggest that the latent reservoir is maintained through cellular proliferation …

Comparative analysis of measures of viral reservoirs in HIV-1 eradication studies

S Eriksson, EH Graf, V Dahl, MC Strain, SA Yukl… - PLoS …, 2013 - journals.plos.org
HIV-1 reservoirs preclude virus eradication in patients receiving highly active antiretroviral
therapy (HAART). The best characterized reservoir is a small, difficult-to-quantify pool of …
