A CD3/CD28 microbead-based HIV-1 viral outgrowth assay
AIMS Latently infected resting CD4 T cells represent a major barrier to HIV-1 eradication efforts. The standard assays used for measuring this reservoir induce activation of resting CD4 T cells with either phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) with irradiated feeder cells, or with anti-CD3 antibodies. We designed a study to compare the sensitivity of a new assay (based on the stimulation of CD4 T cells wit...
متن کاملRapid Quantification of the Latent Reservoir for HIV-1 Using a Viral Outgrowth Assay
HIV-1 persists in infected individuals in a stable pool of resting CD4(+) T cells as a latent but replication-competent provirus. This latent reservoir is the major barrier to the eradication of HIV-1. Clinical trials are currently underway investigating the effects of latency-disrupting compounds on the persistence of the latent reservoir in infected individuals. To accurately assess the effec...
متن کاملA Murine Viral Outgrowth Assay to Detect Residual HIV Type 1 in Patients With Undetectable Viral Loads.
BACKGROUND Sensitive assays are needed for detection of residual human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in patients with undetectable plasma viral loads to determine whether eradication strategies are effective. The gold standard quantitative viral outgrowth assay (QVOA) underestimates the magnitude of the viral reservoir. We sought to determine whether xenograft of leukocytes from HIV type 1 (HIV)...
متن کاملA highly reproducible quantitative viral outgrowth assay for the measurement of the replication-competent latent HIV-1 reservoir
Cure of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection remains elusive due to the persistence of HIV in a latent reservoir. Strategies to eradicate latent infection can only be evaluated with robust, sensitive and specific assays to quantitate reactivatable latent virus. We have taken the standard peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) based viral outgrowth methodology and from it created a log...
متن کاملAutomation of a Multiplexed Microbead-based DNA Assay Platform
Microbead-based diagnostic technology has been explored in academia for over 30 years. As the technology matured, it became clear that this was a competitive platform for multiplexed pointof-care diagnostics for a number of different applications spanning from healthcare, border defense, food safety and environmental monitoring. To realize the benefits of this technology to Canada and the rest ...
