Summary: Despite effective treatment, HIV can persist in latent reservoirs, which represent a major obstacle toward HIV eradication. Targeting and reactivating latent cells is challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of HIV-infected cells.

Combination immune checkpoint blockade to reverse HIV latency [PDF]
In people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy, HIV latency is the major barrier to a cure. HIV persists preferentially in CD4+ T cells expressing multiple immune checkpoint (IC) molecules, including programmed death (PD)-1, T cell Ig and mucin ...

The search for an HIV-1 cure has been greatly hindered by the presence of a viral reservoir that persists despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). Studies of HIV-1 latency in vivo are also complicated by the low proportion of latently infected cells in HIV ...

Insights into the HIV Latency and the Role of Cytokines [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) has the ability to infect latently at the level of individual CD4+ cells. Latent HIV-1 proviruses are transcriptionally silent and immunologically inert, but are still capable of reactivating productive lytic infection following cellular activation.

HIV-1 transcription and latency: an update [PDF]
Combination antiretroviral therapy, despite being potent and life-prolonging, is not curative and does not eradicate HIV-1 infection since interruption of treatment inevitably results in a rapid rebound of viremia. Reactivation of latently infected cells harboring transcriptionally silent but replication-competent proviruses is a potential source of ...

Exploring HIV latency using transcription profiling [PDF]
The major barrier to a cure for HIV is the existence of reservoirs consisting predominantly of latently infected CD4+ T cells, which do not produce virus constitutively but can be induced to produce infectious virus on activation.

Chromatin, gene silencing and HIV latency [PDF]
One of the cellular defenses against virus infection is the silencing of viral gene expression. There is evidence that at least two gene-silencing mechanisms are used against the human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV). Paradoxically, this cellular defense mechanism contributes to viral latency and persistence, and we review here the relationship of viral ...

Reactivation capacity by latency-reversing agents ex vivo correlates with the size of the HIV-1 reservoir [PDF]
Objective: HIV-1 reservoirs are the major hurdle to virus clearance in combination antiretroviral therapy (cART)-Treated patients. An approach to eradicating HIV-1 involves reversing latency in cART-Treated patients to make latent cells visible to the ...

Human Galectin-9 Is a Potent Mediator of HIV Transcription and Reactivation.
Identifying host immune determinants governing HIV transcription, latency and infectivity in vivo is critical to developing an HIV cure. Based on our recent finding that the host factor p21 regulates HIV transcription during antiretroviral therapy (ART),

HIV-1 persists during antiretroviral therapy (ART) due to long-lived and proliferating latently-infected host cells, with the outcome being an incomplete cure. The latently-infected cells, or reservoir cells, are transcriptionally absent and invisible to
