The CRISPR/Cas9 system inactivates latent HIV-1 proviral DNA
26 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has transformed HIV-1 infection from a deadly disease to a manageable chronic illness, albeit does not provide a cure. The recently developed genome editing system called CRISPR/Cas9 offers a new tool to inactivate the integrated latent HIV-1 DNA and may serve as a new avenue toward cure. FINDINGS: We tested 10 sites in HIV-1 DNA that can be targeted by...
