CD133+ Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells Harbor HIV Genomes in a Subset of Optimally Treated People With Long-Term Viral Suppression
3 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) in the bone marrow of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals have been proposed as a persistent reservoir of virus. However, some studies have suggested that HIV genomes detected in HPCs arise from T-cell contamination. METHODS: CD133-sorted HPCs and CD133-depleted bone marrow cells were purified from bone marrow specimens obtained from 11...
