Defective HIV Proviruses: Impact on Persistence, Immunity, and Cure-Related Assays (R01, Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This R01 NOFO seeks research using human samples to define how abundant, replication-incompetent (defective) HIV proviruses—which can express viral RNA and protein—affect immune activation, reservoir dynamics, post-treatment control, and responses to HIV cure strategies. It also supports methods development to identify and exclude defective proviruses from viral-load, bNAb-sensitivity, and dru…
It is well-established that defective HIV proviruses accumulate rapidly during acute HIV infection and constitute more than ninety percent of all proviruses in people living with HIV, regardless of the timing of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. Moreover, recent evidence suggests that the…
