An In Vitro System to Model the Establishment and Reactivation of HIV-1 Latency

Abstract excerpt

HIV-1 establishes latency primarily by infecting activated CD4(+) T cells that later return to quiescence as memory cells. Latency allows HIV-1 to evade immune responses and to persist during antiretroviral therapy, which represents an important problem in clinical practice. The lack of a valid cellular model to study HIV-1 latency has hindered advances in the understanding of its biology. In this study, we...
