Heterogeneity in HIV and cellular transcription profiles in cell line models of latent and productive infection: implications for HIV latency. [PDF]
BackgroundHIV-infected cell lines are widely used to study latent HIV infection, which is considered the main barrier to HIV cure. We hypothesized that these cell lines differ from each other and from cells from HIV-infected individuals in the mechanisms

ABSTRACT In the last decades, critical advancements in research technology and knowledge on disease mechanisms steered therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases towards unprecedented target specificity. For allergic and chronic lung diseases, biologic drugs pioneered this goal, acquiring on the way—through the clinical use of monoclonal ...

The HIV-2 proviral landscape is dominated by defective proviruses
Background: Compared with HIV-1 infection, HIV-2 infection is associated with a slower progression to AIDS. Understanding the persistence of HIV-2 infection might inform the mechanisms responsible for differences in the pathogenicity of HIV-2 versus HIV-1. Methods: In this study, we

HIV-1 proviral single-genome sequencing by limiting-dilution polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification is important for differentiating the sequence-intact from defective proviruses that persist during antiretroviral therapy (ART).

A quantitative approach for measuring the reservoir of latent HIV-1 proviruses. [PDF]
A stable latent reservoir for HIV-1 in resting CD4+ T cells is the principal barrier to a cure1-3. Curative strategies that target the reservoir are being tested4,5 and require accurate, scalable reservoir assays.

Population dynamics of rhesus macaques and associated foamy virus in Bangladesh. [PDF]
Foamy viruses are complex retroviruses that have been shown to be transmitted from nonhuman primates to humans. In Bangladesh, infection with simian foamy virus (SFV) is ubiquitous among rhesus macaques, which come into contact with humans in diverse ...

Abstract Introduction A proportion of people living with HIV (PLWH) fail to restore their CD4 count or their CD4/CD8 ratio despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). PLWH with immune non‐response (INR) are at a higher risk of both AIDS and non‐AIDS events. The underlying mechanisms of INR remain unclear.

Mapping of alterations in noninfectious proviruses of spleen necrosis virus [PDF]
Ten recombinant lambda phage containing proviruses of spleen necrosis virus (SNV) were previously obtained. Six of the proviruses are infectious and four are not infectious in infectious DNA assays. In this paper, we show that these noninfectious proviruses are not infectious because of alterations in the viral DNA.

Silencing of Unintegrated Retroviral DNAs
Retroviral infection delivers an RNA genome into the cytoplasm that serves as the template for the synthesis of a linear double-stranded DNA copy by the viral reverse transcriptase.
