A study led by Dr. Rebecca Olson, the Gale lab shows that HIV latency and viral suppression each link with cell-intrinsic defects in specific innate immune gene expression. We identify a set of innate immune effector genes as candidate viral latency restriction factors whose expression and function could possibly mitigate establishing latent HIV infection.
