    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods for treating and/or preventing HIV infection in a cell. The methods involve downmodulating one or more of the HIV-dependency factors (HDFs) disclosed herein to thereby treat and/or prevent HIV infection in the cell. Downmodulating the HDFs can be by contacting the cell with an agent that downmodulates the HDF. Also disclosed herein are methods for treating and/or preventing HIV infection in a subject comprising downmodulating one or more of the HIV-dependency factors (HDFs), disclosed herein, to thereby treat and/or prevent HIV infection in the subject. The method may further comprise selecting a subject diagnosed with or at risk for HIV infection, prior to downmodulating. Downmodulating the HDFs may comprise administering an agent that downmodulates the HDF to the subject such that the agent contacts HIV host cells of the subject. The agent may inhibit HDF gene expression, protein synthesis, HDF function or HDF activity, or combinations thereof.
