Studies of HIV-1 latency in an ex vivo model that uses primary central memory T cells.

Abstract excerpt

HIV-1 latency is considered the last hurdle toward viral eradication in the presence of antiretroviral therapy. Studies of viral latency in vivo are complicated by the low frequency of latently infected cells found in HIV-1 patients. To be able to study the signaling pathways and viral determinants of latency and reactivation, we have developed a novel method that generates high numbers of latently HIV-1 infected...
