Fected CD4+ resting T cells, constitutes the HAART-persistent latent reservoir. Most cells in this silent reservoir have long half lives [6, 7] and are hidden from immune surveillance which permits them to remain as a stable source for de novo viral production upon reactivation. One strategy for eradication of this reservoir rests upon the premise that cellular activation with concomitant upregula

Ation MDDC are washed and 2 ?105 cells were adsorbed on a microscopy-adapted slide. Cells were incubated with or without HHA-TRITC or GNA-TRITC (200 /ml; Eylabs) at 4 for 30 min. Cells were washed with PBS 0.01 azide 0.5 BSA and then fixed with 1 paraformaldehyde. The coverslides were mounted in Mowiol (SigmaAldrich). Fluorescence analysis was performed with a Zeiss LSM510 confocal microscope

D role functioning (perfect score = 100) favoured the CXT arm (median change HAART = 0, CXT = +17; p=0.011). Improvement in pain (perfect score = 0, median change HAART = -16.7, CXT = -33.3; p=0.1) and overall QOL (median change HAART = 12.5, CXT = 16.7; p=0.08) were also greater in the CXT arm. Comparisons between arms were not statistically significant.NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manu

We also required verbal approval from participants' HIV providers and confirmation of active insurance coverage for ART. Exclusion criteria included ART dosed more frequently than twice daily, use of liquid medication, and use of a regimen that was predicted to have fewer than 1.5 active drugs

Ple Preparation. Intra-assay precision was defined as the peptide concentration CV for the three runs on the same day and then averaged across the 3 days. The inter-assay precision was defined as the peptide concentration CV for the same run on 3 days (e.g. Day 1, Run 1; Day 2, Run 1; and Day 3, Run 1) and then averaged across the 3 runs. This experiment was performed for 6 individual fresh whole-
