Quantitation of the latent HIV-1 reservoir from the sequence diversity in viral outgrowth assays
Abstract Background The ability of HIV-1 to integrate into the genomes of quiescent host immune cells, establishing a long-lived latent viral reservoir (LVR), is the primary obstacle to curing these infections. Quantitative viral outgrowth assays (QVOAs) are the gold standard for estimating the size...
