Early Emergence and Long-Term Persistence of HIV-Infected T-Cell Clones in Children
12 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 integrates its genome into the DNA of host cells. Consequently, HIV-1 genomes are copied with the host cell DNA during cellular division. Pediatric immune systems differ significantly from adults, consisting primarily of naive T cells, which have low expression of the HIV-1 coreceptor CCR5. This difference may result in variances in the number or size of infected cell clones that persist in children on ART....
