Popis: Much has been learnt from the functions of host restriction factors during acute and chronic HIV-1 infection, but far less is known about their role in HIV-1-infected individuals in which viral load is stably suppressed with antiretroviral therapy (ART). In this study transcriptional expression of 42 host restriction factors was determined for memory CD4+ T cells sorted from 10 uninfected and 21 HIV-1-infected individuals, treated with suppressive ART and for which the viral reservoir was quantified. No significant associations were observed between restriction factor expression and HIV-1 reservoir size, quantified by measurement of HIV-1 Gag DNA using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction, and by measurement of replication-competent inducible virus using quantitative viral outgrowth assays. Expression of eight of the restriction factors differed significantly, and with a false discovery rate of
