Current therapies do not eradicate HIV from infected patients. Indeed, HIV hides in a latent form insensitive to these therapies. Thus, one priority is to purge these latent reservoirs. But what mechanisms are responsible for latency and what are the reservoirs of latently infected cells? The present knowledge in terms of HIV latency is still incomplete and current therapeutic strategies fail to eradicate completely latently infected cells. What could the future bring?
目前的治疗方法无法从感染患者体内根除艾滋病毒。事实上,艾滋病毒以一种对这些治疗不敏感的潜伏形式隐藏着。因此,一个首要任务是清除这些潜伏库。但是,导致潜伏的机制是什么,潜伏感染细胞的储存库又是什么?就艾滋病毒潜伏而言,目前的知识仍然不完整,当前的治疗策略也未能完全根除潜伏感染的细胞。未来会带来什么呢?
