Increasing procaspase 8 expression using repurposed drugs to induce HIV infected cell death in ex vivo patient cells.

Increasing procaspase 8 expression using repurposed drugs to induce HIV infected cell death in ex vivo patient cells.

HIV persists because a reservoir of latently infected CD4 T cells do not express viral proteins and are indistinguishable from uninfected cells. One approach to HIV cure suggests that reactivating HIV will activate cytotoxic pathways; yet when tested in vivo, reactivating cells do not die sufficient...
