Long HIV Type 1 Reverse Transcripts Can Accumulate Stably within Resting CD4 <sup>+</sup> T Cells While Short Ones Are Degraded
1 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
We utilized quantitative methods to compare the efficiency of reverse transcription and stability of viral DNA within resting and activated T cells. Highly purified resting CD4(+) T cells and activated T cells from healthy donors were spinoculated with HIV-1(YU-2), then cultured in conditions that maintain both the viability and the quiescence of the resting cells. Spreading infection was suppressed, then kinetic...
