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

Advances in Pediatric HIV-1 Cure Therapies and Reservoir Assays
Significant advances in the field of HIV-1 therapeutics to achieve antiretroviral treatment (ART)-free remission and cure for persons living with HIV-1 are being made with the advent of broadly neutralizing antibodies and very early ART in perinatal ...

Host Genomics of the HIV-1 Reservoir Size and Its Decay Rate During Suppressive Antiretroviral Treatment [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The primary hurdle for the eradication of HIV-1 is the establishment of a latent viral reservoir early after primary infection. Here we investigated the potential influence of human genetic variation on the HIV-1 reservoir size and its decay ...

Hiding in plain sight – platelets, the silent carriers of HIV-1
There are approximately 38 million people globally living with Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) and given the tremendous success of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) this has dramatically reduced mortality and morbidity with prevention ...

Modulating HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein conformation to decrease the HIV-1 reservoir [PDF]
Small CD4-mimetic compounds (CD4mc) sensitize HIV-1-infected cells to antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by facilitating antibody recognition of epitopes that are otherwise occluded on the unliganded viral envelope (Env). Combining CD4mc with two families of CD4-induced (CD4i) antibodies, which are frequently found in plasma of HIV-1 ...
