    摘要: The present disclosure provides for recombinant nucleic acids, and cells and virions comprising the recombinant nucleic acids, that can be used to identify, isolate, and/or purify cells latently infected with immunodeficiency virus. A subject recombinant nucleic acid includes (a) a first nucleotide sequence encoding a first reporter polypeptide that produces a first detectable signal, where the first nucleotide sequence is operably linked to an immunodeficiency virus promoter and is translated as an early gene; and (b) a second nucleotide sequence encoding a second reporter polypeptide that produces a second detectable signal that is distinguishable from the first detectable signal, where the second nucleotide sequence is operably linked to a non-immunodeficiency virus promoter. In some aspects, the first and second nucleotide sequences are both positioned between a shared 5′ long terminal repeat (LTR) and a shared 3′ LTR. Also provided are related methods.

    摘要: HIV-1's ability to enter a transcriptionally dormant state and establish a reservoir of latently infected cells is considered the major barrier to eradicating the virus from infected patients. Stochastic noise (i.e. fluctuations) in an HIV-1 transcriptional positive-feedback loop is one mechanism that enables HIV-1 to establish latency. Here, Applicants demonstrate that small-molecule modulation of noise in HIV-1 gene expression radically perturbs HIV-1 latency.
