The Challenge of Viral Reservoirs in HIV-1 Infection

Blankson, Joel N., Persaud, Deborah, Siliciano, Robert F.·2002·Annual Review of Medicine

Abstract

▪ Abstract A viral reservoir is a cell type or anatomical site in association with which a replication-competent form of the virus accumulates and persists with more stable kinetic properties than the main pool of actively replicating virus. This article reviews several cell types and anatomical sites proposed as potential reservoirs for HIV-1. It is now clear that HIV-1 persists in a small reservoir of latently infected resting memory CD4+T cells, which shows minimal decay even in patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The persistence of virus in this reservoir is consistent with the biology of these cells and the long-term persistence of immunologic memory. The viral replication that continues in patients on suppressive HAART may also contribute to the stability of this reservoir. There may be other reservoirs, but the latent reservoir in resting CD4+T cells appears to be sufficient to guarantee lifetime persistence of HIV-1 in the majority of patients on current HAART regimens, and unless new approaches are developed, eradication will not be possible. The clinical implications of this and other HIV-1 reservoirs are discussed.

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.
