Abstract excerpt
Post-treatment control (PTC) is a rare phenomenon in which people living with HIV (PLWH) maintain viral control following antiretroviral treatment (ART) interruption. Characterizing virus populations present in PTCs may help elucidate mechanisms of immunologic control, but this is challenging without detectable plasma viremia. To model PTC, eight Mauritian cynomolgus macaques (MCMs) were infected with barcoded...
