CD8 Lymphocyte Depletion Enhances the Latency Reversal Activity of the SMAC Mimetic AZD5582 in ART-Suppressed Simian Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Rhesus Macaques

Abstract excerpt

A favored approach to curing HIV infection aims at inducing viral expression using latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to allow the elimination of infected cells. Here, we tested a combination of two recently identified LRAs, the SMAC mimetic/IAP inhibitor AZD5582, which activates the noncanonical NF-κB pathway, and the antibody (Ab) MT807R1, which depletes CD8α + cells, in SIV-infected rhesus macaques (RMs) on ART.
