Limits on Replenishment of the Resting CD4+ T Cell Reservoir for HIV in Patients on HAART
24 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Whereas cells productively infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) decay rapidly in the setting of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), latently infected resting CD4(+) T cells decay very slowly, persisting for the lifetime of the patient and thus forming a stable reservoir for HIV-1. It has been suggested that the stability of the latent reservoir is due to low-level viral replication...
