Latency Reversing Agents: Kick and Kill of HTLV-1? [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the cause of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), is a retrovirus, which integrates into the host genome and persistently infects CD4+ T-cells.

Proviral Latency, Persistent Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection, and the Development of Latency Reversing Agents [PDF]
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017 Quiescent proviral genomes that persist during human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) can fuel rebound viremia after ART interruption and is a central obstacle to the cure of HIV infection ...

Optimal Control of an HIV Model with Gene Therapy and Latency Reversing Agents [PDF]
Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2021 In this paper, we study the dynamics of HIV under gene therapy and latency reversing agents. While previous works modeled either the use of gene therapy or latency reversing agents, we consider the effects of a combination treatment strategy.

Trade-off between synergy and efficacy in combinations of HIV-1 latency-reversing agents. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2018 Eradicating HIV-1 infection is difficult because of the reservoir of latently infected cells that gets established soon after infection, remains hidden from antiretroviral drugs and host immune responses, and retains the capacity to reignite infection ...

NSC95397 Is a Novel HIV-1 Latency-Reversing Agent. [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The latent viral reservoir represents one of the major barriers to curing HIV-1. Focus on the kick and kill (also called shock and kill) approach, in which virus expression is reactivated, and then cells producing virus are selectively depleted, has led ...

Epigenetic Regulation of HIV-1 Sense and Antisense Transcription in Response to Latency-Reversing Agents. [PDF]
Noncoding RNA, 2023 Nucleosomes positioned on the HIV-1 5′ long terminal repeat (LTR) regulate sense transcription as well as the establishment and maintenance of latency.

Combinations of Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors with Distinct Latency Reversing Agents Variably Affect HIV Reactivation and Susceptibility to NK Cell-Mediated Killing of T Cells That Exit Viral Latency [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 The ‘shock-and-kill’ strategy to purge the latent HIV reservoir relies on latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to reactivate the provirus and subsequent immune-mediated killing of HIV-expressing cells.

Characterization of designed, synthetically accessible bryostatin analog HIV latency reversing agents. [PDF]
Virology, 2018 HIV latency in resting CD4+ T cell represents a key barrier preventing cure of the infection with antiretroviral drugs alone. Latency reversing agents (LRAs) can activate HIV expression in latently infected cells, potentially leading to their elimination

Determinants of the efficacy of HIV latency-reversing agents and implications for drug and treatment design. [PDF]
JCI Insight, 2018 HIV eradication studies have focused on developing latency-reversing agents (LRAs). However, it is not understood how the rate of latent reservoir reduction is affected by different steps in the process of latency reversal.
