Ated for animals receiving no antibodies. The plasma neutralization titer was also determined for each of the MAb recipients at multiple times post infusion (Figure 4a). The median plasma neutralizing titers for the four groups of macaques at the time of SHIVAD8-EO acquisition were low:
Me transcription through the provirus, since slight enrichment of elongating RNAPII in the HIV coding region of transcriptionally silent J-Lat 9.2 cells was observed using ChIPqPCR assay. However, transcription originating from the host promoter, ignoring pA sites in both LTRs and consequently splicing out the provirus together with the host intron (Han et al., 2004) is most likely less frequent t
Protection has, in fact, been achieved by administering polyclonal and monoclonal antiHIV-1 neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) to humanized mice or macaques prior to challenge with SIV/HIV chimeric viruses (SHIVs)1-8. During the past seven years, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have been isolated from selected HIV-1 infected individuals, who generate anti-viral NAbs (bNAbs) with broad and potent activity

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
Ed cells. Furthermore, TNF- stimulation led to the appearance of Sp1 and initiating RNAPII on the 5'LTR and additional enrichments of initiating and elongating RNAPII on the 3'LTR. These effects are most likely achieved through the activation of NF-B, which stimulates several steps of viral transcription including the PIC formation, transcription initiation and transcription elongation. Thus, our

S we failed to detect any Sp1 at the PP5*/ 5'LTR junction or in the coding region of the HIV genome (Figure 5B, bars 1, 2, 5 and 6). Thus, the absence of Sp1 at the 5'LTR in untreated cells is a result of TI due to the actively transcribed PP5* gene. The finding that TNF- stimulation increased the levels of Sp1 not only at the 3' but also at the 5'LTR indicates that stimulating PIC assembly on the
