Here we demonstrate that a combination of tenofovir, emtricitabine, and raltegravir effectively suppresses peripheral and systemic HIV replication in humanized BLT mice. We also demonstrate that antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated humanized BLT mice harbor latently infected resting human CD4+ T cells that can be induced ex vivo to produce HIV. We observed that the levels of infected resting human CD4+ T cells present in BLT mice are within the range of those observed circulating in patients undergoing suppressive ART. These results demonstrate the potential of humanized BLT mice as an attractive model for testing the in vivo efficacy of novel HIV eradication strategies.
在这里,我们证明了替诺福韦、恩曲他滨和拉替拉韦的联合治疗可以有效地抑制人源化 BLT 小鼠的外周和全身 HIV 复制。我们还证明,接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)的人源化 BLT 小鼠携带潜伏感染的静止人类 CD4+T 细胞,这些细胞可以在体外被诱导产生 HIV。我们观察到,BLT 小鼠中存在的感染静止人类 CD4+T 细胞的水平在接受抑制性 ART 的患者中观察到的循环水平范围内。这些结果表明,人源化 BLT 小鼠作为一种有吸引力的模型,可用于测试新型 HIV 清除策略的体内疗效。
