Inducible HIV-1 Reservoir Reduction Assay (HIVRRA), a Fast and Sensitive Assay to Test Cytotoxicity and Potency of Cure Strategies to Reduce the Replication-Competent HIV-1 Reservoir in Ex Vivo PBMCs. [PDF]
The HIV-1 reservoir, consisting of transcriptionally silent integrated HIV-1 proviruses, is a major barrier to a cure, as it persists during effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) and is the source of viral rebound upon treatment interruption.

Atlas of the HIV-1 Reservoir in Peripheral CD4 T Cells of Individuals on Successful Antiretroviral Therapy. [PDF]
Knowing the mechanisms that govern the persistence of infected CD4+ subpopulations could help us to design new therapies to cure HIV-1 infection. We evaluated the simultaneous distribution of the HIV-1 reservoir in 13 CD4+ subpopulations from 14 HIV-1 ...

Inducible HIV-1 Reservoir Quantification: Clinical Relevance, Applications and Advancements of TILDA. [PDF]
The presence of a stable HIV-1 reservoir persisting over time despite effective antiretroviral suppression therapy precludes a cure for HIV-1. Characterizing and quantifying this residual reservoir is considered an essential prerequisite to develop and ...

BACH2 promotes seeding and establishment of long-lived HIV-1 reservoir in memory CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells. [PDF]
Summary: Despite antiretroviral therapy, HIV-1 mainly persists in memory CD4+ T cells in people living with HIV-1. Most long-lived viral reservoir cells are infected by the virus near the time of therapy initiation.

Noncanonical-NF-κB activation and DDX3 inhibition reduces the HIV-1 reservoir by elimination of latently infected cells ex-vivo. [PDF]
Latency reversal and subsequent elimination of the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) reservoir using a combination of compounds with different mechanisms of action are considered a promising tool for HIV-1 cure.

Single-cell analyses identify monocyte gene expression profiles that influence HIV-1 reservoir size in acutely treated cohorts. [PDF]
Eliminating latent HIV-1 is a major goal of AIDS research but host factors determining the size of these reservoirs are poorly understood. Here, we investigate the role of host gene expression on HIV-1 reservoir size during suppressive antiretroviral ...

Spatial technologies to evaluate the HIV-1 reservoir and its microenvironment in the lymph node. [PDF]
The presence of the HIV-1 reservoir, a group of immune cells that contain intact, integrated, and replication-competent proviruses, is a major challenge to cure HIV-1.

Assessing advances in three decades of clinical antiretroviral therapy on the HIV-1 reservoir. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved the clinical management of HIV-1 infection. However, little is known about how the latest ART recommendations affect the heterogeneity of the HIV-1 reservoir size.METHODS We used a complete statistical

Specific quantification of inducible HIV-1 reservoir by RT-LAMP. [PDF]
Background Strategies toward HIV-1 cure aim to clear, inactivate, reduce, or immunologically control the virus from a pool of latently infected cells such that combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can be safely interrupted.

Identification of CD98 as a Novel Biomarker for HIV-1 Permissiveness and Latent Infection
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can integrate viral DNA into host cell chromosomes to establish a long-term stable latent reservoir, which is a major obstacle to cure HIV-1 infection. The characteristics of the HIV-1 latent reservoir have not
