HIV latency and regulation of viral life cycle
 | HIV latency and regulation of viral life cycleProject leader: Dr Paul Cameron Phone: +61 3 9076 8449 Email: paul.u.cameron@monash.edu Research group: Lewin/Cameron Laboratory |
Overview
HIV targeting and latency in long lived T cells is critical in determining outcome and limiting strategies to cure HIV infection. The development of different T cell subsets and antigen specific activation depends on interactions between dendritic cells and T cells. The overall aim of this NHMRC funded project is to study in human dendritic cell-T cell models the important role played by different sub-populations of dendritic cells in controlling HIV latency in T cells.
