25 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Central memory (TCM) CD4(+) T cells are the principal reservoir of latent HIV-1 infection that persists despite durable, successful antiretroviral therapy (ART). In a study that measured HIV DNA in 17 patients and replication-competent HIV in 4 patients, pools of resting and activated transitional memory (T(TM)) CD4(+) T cells were found to be a reservoir for HIV infection. As defective viruses...
