Brief description Although treatment of HIV using antiretroviral drugs has dramatically improved outcome the presence of latent infection in long lived T cells has so far prevented cure of HIV infection. This study examines the roles of chemokines (proteins that control cell migration) and a special type of infection fighting cell, the dendritic cell, in generating latent infection in resting T cells. These studies could potentially identify new ways to treat and potentially cure HIV infection.
