Parallel analysis of transcription, integration, and sequence of single HIV-1 proviruses

open access: yesCell, 2022
Summary HIV-1-infected cells that persist despite antiretroviral therapy (ART) are frequently considered “transcriptionally silent,” but active viral gene expression may occur in some cells, challenging the concept of viral latency. Applying an assay for

Endogenous proviruses as “mementos”? [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1997
In a recent News and Views1, J. P. Stoye discussed the potential health risks associated with the spread of endogenous proviruses from pigs and primates through the use of their organs for transplantation into humans. Although the risks to patients and the public from horizontal transmission may be as manageable as he represents, we would like to ...

Long-term persistence of transcriptionally active ‘defective’ HIV-1 proviruses: implications for persistent immune activation during antiretroviral therapy

open access: yesAIDS (London), 2023
Objectives: People with HIV-1 (PWH) on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) continue to exhibit chronic systemic inflammation, immune activation, and persistent elevations in markers of HIV-1 infection [including HIV-DNA, cell-associated HIV-RNA (CA ...

Persistence of intact HIV-1 proviruses in the brain during antiretroviral therapy

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2023
HIV-1 reservoir cells that circulate in peripheral blood during suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been well characterized, but little is known about the dissemination of HIV-1-infected cells across multiple anatomical tissues, especially the ...

The replication-competent HIV reservoir is a genetically restricted, younger subset of the overall pool of HIV proviruses persisting during therapy, which is highly genetically stable over time

open access: yesResearch Square, 2023
Within-host HIV populations continually diversify during untreated infection, and this diversity persists within infected cell reservoirs during antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Complex decay dynamics of HIV virions, intact and defective proviruses, and 2LTR circles following initiation of antiretroviral therapy

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Significance In persons living with HIV-1 who start antiretroviral therapy, virus in the blood decreases rapidly to below the detection limit. The decrease occurs in two phases: a rapid initial decrease in the first weeks, followed by a second, slower ...

Intact HIV Proviruses Persist in the Brain Despite Viral Suppression with ART

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, 2022
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) persistence in blood and tissue reservoirs, including the brain, is a major barrier to HIV cure and possible cause of comorbid disease.

Varied Interactions Between Proviruses and Adjacent Host Chromatin [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biology, 1986
Retroviruses integrated at unique locations in the host genome can be expressed at different levels. We have analyzed the preintegration sites of three transcriptionally competent avian endogenous proviruses (evs) to determine whether the various levels of provirus expression correlate with their location in active or inactive regions of chromatin. Our

Adaptation of the intact proviral DNA assay to a nanowell-based digital PCR platform

open access: yesJournal of Virus Eradication, 2023
Quantification of intact proviruses is a critical measurement in HIV cure studies both in vitro and in vivo. The widely adopted ‘intact proviral DNA assay’ (IPDA), designed to discriminate and quantify genetically intact HIV proviruses based on detection

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

open access: yesXenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...
