An Upstream YY1 Binding Site on the HIV-1 LTR Contributes to Latent Infection
8 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
During HIV-1 infection a population of latently infected cells is established. This population is the major obstacle preventing total eradication of the virus from AIDS patients. HIV-1 latency is thought to arise by various mechanisms including repressive chromatin modifications.
