Differentially Stimulated CD4+T Cells Display Altered Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection Kinetics: Implications for the Efficacy of Antiviral Agents
8 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
The activation state of CD4(+) T cells plays a crucial role in the establishment of a productive human immunodeficiency virus infection. Here, we show that T cells stimulated for 1 day demonstrated delayed kinetics of viral reverse transcription and integration compared to cells stimulated for 2 days prior to infection. As a result, the efficiency of reverse transcription and integration inhibitors differs in...
