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.

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 ...

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 ...

Linking gut microbiome to HIV-1 reservoir size in people living with HIV [PDF]
The gut microbiome is altered during HIV-1 infection and contributes to immune dysfunction and inflammation in people living with HIV (PLWH), these changes may persist despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART).

BACH2 promotes seeding and establishment of long-lived HIV-1 reservoir in memory CD4+ 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.

HIV-1 DNA and the HIV-1 Viral Reservoir [PDF]
HIV-1 infected resting memory CD4+ T cells are major contributors to the HIV-1 viral reservoir, which is established during early infection, maintaining HIV-1 infection for an individual s life. The effect the timing of therapy initiation has on the size

HIV-1 reservoir inducibility and immune phenotypes after prolonged analytical treatment interruption: a long-term follow-up studyResearch in context [PDF]
Summary: Background: Despite effective suppression of HIV-1 replication by antiretroviral therapy (ART), persistent viral reservoirs prevent cure and necessitate lifelong treatment.

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.

Heritability of the HIV-1 reservoir size and decay under long-term suppressive ART [PDF]
The HIV reservoir is a major hurdle for a cure of HIV, but the factors determining its size and dynamics remain unclear. Here the authors show in a large cohort of 610 HIV-1 infected individuals, who are on suppressive ART for a median of 5.4 years, that

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 ...
