Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected splenocytes in humans were recently shown to harbor three to four proviruses per cell on average (A. Jung et al., Nature 418:144, 2002). However, the mechanisms that lead to such extensive multiple infections are not understood. Here, we find by using mathematical analysis that two mechanisms quantitatively capture the distribution of provira...
bovine leukemia virus (blv) is a retrovirus responsible for lymphoproliferative disorders in cattle. although infections of blv in animals are well known, little is known about its capacity to infect humans. this study investigated the presence of anti-blv antibodies and blv proviruses in human and cattle samples. an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was used to detect anti-blv...
Current efforts toward achieving a cure for HIV are focused on developing strategies to eliminate latently infected CD4+ T cells, which represent the major barrier to virus eradication. Sensitive, precise, and practical assays that can reliably characterize and measure this HIV reservoir and can reliably measure the impact of a candidate treatment strategy are essential. PCR-based procedures fo...
The barrier to curing HIV-1 is thought to reside primarily in CD4(+) T cells containing silent proviruses. To characterize these latently infected cells, we studied the integration profile of HIV-1 in viremic progressors, individuals receiving antiretroviral therapy, and viremic controllers. Clonally expanded T cells represented the majority of all integrations and increased during therapy. How...
Chicken cells of chicken helper factor-positive (chf+) phenotype were infected with a cloned (envE-free) Rous sarcoma virus, subgroup D, and examined for the presence of parent and recombinant proviruses by transfection in chicken and turkey cells, respectively. It was found that most parent virus DNA is integrated into the host cell genome during the first 18 hr after infection, and no signifi...
HERV-K is a 50-copy, human endogenous, class 1 retroviral element that contains some polycistrons with gag, pol, and env open reading frames. Although expression of HERV-K proviruses has been shown in cultured human cell lines, expression of these elements has not been shown in human blood leukocytes. Using both reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and ribonuclease protection techniq...
The HIV-1 reservoir is established very early after transmission when proviruses become integrated in the genome of long-lived immune cells. Three to 6 days after infection, intracellular HIV-1 DNA in CD4þ T cells and virions attached to antigen-presenting cells can be detected in regional draining lymph nodes [1]. The rapid dissemination of HIV-1 in humans corresponds to observations in nonhum...
Targeted HIV cure strategies require definition of the mechanisms that maintain the virus. Here, we tracked HIV replication and the persistence of infected CD4 T cells in individuals with natural virologic control by sequencing viruses, T cell receptor genes, HIV integration sites, and cellular transcriptomes. Our results revealed three mechanisms of HIV persistence operating within distinct an...
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are widespread amongst domesticated goats and sheep worldwide, but have not been clearly identified in wild small ruminants, where they might constitute an animal health risk through contamination from local domesticates. SRLV proviruses from three ibexes from the French Alps are described and sequences from their gag gene and long terminal repeats (LTRs) were...
The internal organization of endogenous xenotropic murine leukemia virus proviruses was determined in a series of blot hybridization experiments in which DNA from several different inbred mouse strains, digested with restriction enzymes known to cleave xenotropic proviral DNAs at least twice, was annealed to generalized murine leukemia virus or xenotropic env-specific DNA probes. Comigrating ba...
