Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a retrovirus of the Lentivirus genus, targets CD4+ T cells, causing immune dysfunction and AIDS. Approximately 8% of the human genome consists of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), ancient retroviral remnants that may interact with HIV. Despite antiretroviral therapy, challenges such as drug resistance, poor immune reconstitution (PIR), and reservoirs remain. This GEM discusses the impact of HIV on HERVs, the potential roles of HERVs in PIR and reservoirs, and provides insights into future research directions.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Virology (JVI) explores the nature of the viruses of animals, archaea, bacteria, fungi, plants, and protozoa. We welcome papers on virion structure and assembly, viral genome replication and regulation of gene expression, genetic diversity and evolution, virus-cell interactions, cellular responses to infection, transformation and oncogenesis, gene delivery, viral pathogenesis and immunity, and vaccines and antiviral agents.
