| The following endpoints refer to in vitro experiments: 1. Descriptive analysis of latently infected HIV sub-populations of PBMC*s, by use of flow cytometry. 2. Quantify increases transcription related factors before and after the addition of HIV expression modulating agents. 3. To quantify the virologic response of latent HIV infected reservoir to treatment by HIV expression modulating agents. 4. To explore potential biomarkers of the size of the HIV reservoir. These include cytokines (IFNg, IL1beta, IL2, IL4, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL-12p70, IL13, TNFalfa etc), HLA phenotyping (HLA B27 and B57), amount of HIV specific broadly neutralizing antibodies, SOMAscan (proteomics) level of HIV specific CTL activation and CD4+ T cel responses. 5. Prospective clinical cohort 6. Differences in HIV reservoir, shock and kill strategies, and immunity between different HIV clinical phenotypes | — |
