Reduction of the HIV-1 reservoir in T cells from people with HIV-1 on suppressive antiretroviral therapy using expanded natural killer cells [PDF]

open access: yesmBio
Treatment with latency-reversing agents (LRAs) alone has been ineffective in reducing HIV-1 reservoirs in people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART), due to inefficiencies in reservoir reactivation and adaptive immune ...

Residual Proviral Reservoirs: A High Risk for HIV Persistence and Driving Forces for Viral Rebound after Analytical Treatment Interruption

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically suppressed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication and become undetectable viremia. However, a small number of residual replication-competent HIV proviruses can still persist in a latent state even ...

The Interplay of HIV-1 and Macrophages in Viral Persistence

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
HIV-1 has evolved mechanisms to evade host cell immune responses and persist for lifelong infection. Latent cellular reservoirs are responsible for this persistence of HIV-1 despite the powerful effects of highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART ...

The anti-caspase 1 inhibitor VX-765 reduces immune activation, CD4+ T cell depletion, viral load, and total HIV-1 DNA in HIV-1 infected humanized mice

open access: yeseLife, 2023
HIV-1 infection results in the activation of inflammasome that may facilitate viral spread and establishment of viral reservoirs. We evaluated the effects of the caspase-1 inhibitor VX-765 on HIV-1 infection in humanized NSG mice engrafted with human ...

HIV reservoir: antiviral immune responses and immune interventions for curing HIV infection

open access: yesChinese Medical Journal, 2022
. Antiretroviral therapy against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is effective in controlling viral replication but cannot completely eliminate HIV due to the persistence of the HIV reservoir.

Identification, Quantification, and Characterization of HIV-1 Reservoirs in the Human Brain

open access: yesCells, 2022
The major barrier to cure HIV infection is the early generation and extended survival of HIV reservoirs in the circulation and tissues. Currently, the techniques used to detect and quantify HIV reservoirs are mostly based on blood-based assays; however ...

Targeting HIV-1 reservoirs in T cell subsets

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
The HIV-1 reservoirs harbor the latent proviruses that are integrated into the host genome. It is a challenging task to eradicate the proviruses in order to achieve an HIV cure.

Neutralizing the HIV Reservoir [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2014
Halper-Stromberg et al. use a humanized mouse model to demonstrate that broadly neutralizing antibodies, when administered with a combination of HIV latency activators, can reduce persistent HIV reservoirs, as measured by plasma virus rebound. Their results support the use of broadly neutralizing antibodies in HIV-reservoir-purging strategies.

The Splice of Life: Does RNA Processing Have a Role in HIV-1 Persistence?

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses HIV-1 replication but does not eradicate the virus. Persistence of HIV-1 latent reservoirs in ART-treated individuals is considered the main obstacle to achieving an HIV-1 cure.

Targeting the HIV reservoir: chimeric antigen receptor therapy for HIV cure

open access: yesChinese Medical Journal, 2023
. Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) can reduce the viral load in the plasma to undetectable levels in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals, ART alone cannot completely eliminate HIV due to its integration into the host cell genome ...
