Human splice factors contribute to latent HIV infection in primary cell models and blood CD4+ T cells from ART-treated individuals

Abstract excerpt

It is unclear what mechanisms govern latent HIV infection in vivo or in primary cell models. To investigate these questions, we compared the HIV and cellular transcription profile in three primary cell models and peripheral CD4+ T cells from HIV-infected ART-suppressed individuals using RT-ddPCR and RNA-seq. All primary cell models recapitulated the block to HIV multiple splicing seen in cells from ART-suppressed...
