Latent reservoirs of HIV: Obstacles to the eradication of virus

Abstract

The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in the treatment of HIV-1-infected individuals has provided a considerable amount of information regarding the dynamics of viral replication and has resulted in enormous advances in HIV therapeutics. The profound suppression of plasma viremia in HIV-infected individuals receiving HAART has resulted in a highly beneficial clinical effect and a dramatic decrease in the death rate attributable to AIDS. Nonetheless, the persistance of reservoirs of HIV, including latently infected, resting CD4+ T cells that can give rise to infectious HIV upon stimulation in vitro, has posed a sobering challenge to the long-term control or eradication of HIV in infected individuals receiving HAART. Although a recent study has demonstrated th at the size of the pool of latently infected, resting CD4+ T cells can be markedly diminished with intermittent interleukin (IL-2) and continuous HAART, complete eradication of HiV in infected individuals remains extremely problematic. Here we discuss recent developments in studies of the latent reservoir of HIV in patients receiving HAART and implications for the long-term treatment of infected individuals and eradication of the infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
