The contribution of monocyte infection and trafficking to viral persistence, and maintenance of the viral reservoir in HIV infection
10 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Cellular viral reservoirs and anatomic sanctuary sites allow continuing HIV-1 replication in patients with suppressed plasma viremia who are receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy and prevent eradication of HIV-1 by these regimens. Cells of macrophage lineage, including monocytes subsets within the blood, play a role in HIV-1 persistence. Evidence of sequence evolution in blood monocytes, in comparison to...
