Journal ArticleDOI
Latency reversal agents affect differently the latent reservoir present in distinct CD4+ T subpopulations.

TL;DR: The results validate the use of the RNA FISH/flow technique to assess the potency of LRAs among different CD4+ T cell subsets, manifest the intrinsic differences between cells that encompass the latent HIV reservoir, and highlight the difficulty to significantly impact the latent infection with the currently available drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
CD32 is expressed on cells with transcriptionally active HIV but does not enrich for HIV DNA in resting T cells.

TL;DR: CD32 is not a marker of resting CD4+ T cells or of enriched HIV DNA–positive cells after ART; rather, CD32 is predominately expressed on a subset of activated CD4- T cells enriched for transcriptionally active HIV after long-term ART.
Journal ArticleDOI
NO and NOS isoforms in the development of apoptosis in renal ischemia/reperfusion.
TL;DR: Two pathways define the role of NOS/NO systems in the development of apoptosis during experimental renal I/R: a direct route through eNOS overexpression and NO production, and an indirect route, through expression/activation of the iNos/NO system, induced by eN OS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antiviral Antibodies Are Necessary for Control of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Replication
Christopher J. Miller,Meritxell Genescà,Kristina Abel,David C. Montefiori,Donald N. Forthal,Kristen Bost,Jun Li,David Favre,Joseph M. McCune +8 more
TL;DR: Observations indicate that antiviral antibody responses are critical in maintaining effective control of SIV replication at early time points postinfection.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify circulating virus-specific T cell responses during acute infection with functional, migratory and apoptotic patterns modulated by viral proteins and associated with clinical outcome, highlighting a balanced anti-inflammatory antiviral response associated with a better outcome and persisting TRM cells as important for future protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
