It is worth noting that three of the six recipients of the 10-1074 MAb experienced rapid decay of plasma antibody, which fell to background levels between weeks 4 to 6 following administration (Fig. 3c). A similar pattern occurred for three of the 3BNC117 MAb and VRC01-LS recipients, although the decli

Pelleted in a conical tube and washed with cold phosphate-buffered saline. Sonication and immunoprecipitation were performed using Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Assay Kit (Upstate) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Antibodies used are presented in Table S2. As negative control, normal rabbit or mouse serum (Sigma-Aldrich) was used. Appropriate primer pairs (Table S1) were used t
Ranscription units (Han et al., 2004; Lewinski et al., 2005). In the present work, we extended this knowledge by a detailed analysis of how TI impacts viral transcription in latent cells. Although TI occurs regardless of the orientation of the two promoters, we studied TI phenomenon in two J-Lat cell lines with the same orientation of the host and viral promoters, which allowed us to detect and an

K of the latent provirus in J-Lat 9.2 cells is TI of the 5'LTR caused by the transcription of the host PP5* gene. This interfering transcription results in the lack of Sp1 and the presence of the elongating RNAPII at the 5'LTR. Moreover, TI can be partially rescued by TNF- stimulation, as documented by the appearance of Sp1 and initiating RNAPII at the 5'LTR. The slight enrichment of the RNAPII in
