Capsid: The protein shell of a virus that encases its genetic material. Provirus: A virus that integrates its genetic material into the host's genome, allowing it to persist in a dormant state.

We hypothesized that there would be common, large genetic variations within HML-2 provirus regions relative to the hg38 reference genome. To study this, we analyzed a dataset of 222 samples from ...

Only a very small population of HIV reservoirs harbor provirus. However, the persistent, low grade of antigenic and inflammatory or ROS stimulation in the setting of latent HIV-1 infection in ...

In this useful study, the authors tested a novel approach to eradicate the HIV reservoir by constructing a herpes simplex virus (HSV)-based therapeutic vaccine designed to reactivate HIV from latently ...
