HIV-1 proviral DNA loads (as determined by quantitative PCR) in patients subjected to structured treatment interruption after antiretroviral therapy failure.

چکیده
The impact of Structured Treatment Interruption (STI) in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proviral reservoirs in 41 highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-treated viremic individuals at baseline and 12 weeks after STI was determined using quantitative PCR (qPCR). Viral load increased 0.7 log(10) and CD4 decreased 97.5 cells/mm(3) after 12 weeks. A total of 28 of the 41 individuals showed an increased proviral load, 19 with a statistically significant increase above 10%. An increase in active viral replication is an important factor in the replenishment of the proviral reservoir even for short time periods.

BACKGROUND Structured antiretroviral therapy interruption (TI) is discouraged because of poorer AIDS and non-AIDS-related outcomes, but is often inevitable in clinical practice. Certain strategies could reduce the emergence of resistance mutations related to TI. METHODS A total of 106 HIV-1-infected patients on stable HAART with undetectable plasma viral load were randomized to therapy contin...

Thirty patients with acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 infection received a combination of 3 antiretroviral drugs (n=15) or 4 antiretroviral drugs plus hydroxyurea and interleukin-2 (n=15) for 24 months, followed by 1-3 structured therapeutic interruptions (STIs). Viral control, defined as maintaining plasma viremia <5000 copies/mL without therapy, was achieved in 14 cases. Lympho...

BACKGROUND The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) proviral DNA persists in infected cells, even after prolonged successful HAART. In the present study, a relative quantification assay of HIV-1 proviral DNA by LightCycler real-time PCR based on SYBR Green I detection was developed in comparison to the number of purified CD4+ cells as estimated by the quantification of the beta-globin ge...

Proviral human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) DNA could be a useful marker for exploring viral reservoirs and monitoring antiretroviral treatment, particularly when HIV-1 RNA is undetectable in plasma. A new technique was developed to quantify proviral HIV-1 using a TaqMan real-time PCR assay. One copy of proviral HIV-1 DNA could be detected with 100% sensitivity for five copies and the ...
متن کاملHIV Drug Resistance Mutations in Proviral DNA from a Community Treatment Program
BACKGROUND Drug resistance mutations archived in resting memory CD4+ cells may persist despite suppression of HIV RNA to <50 copies/ml. We sequenced pol gene from proviral DNA among viremic and suppressed patients to identify drug resistance mutations. METHODS The Peninsula AIDS Research Cohort study enrolled and followed over 2 years 120 HIV infected patients from San Mateo and San Francisco...
