Article Synopsis
- HIV infection has a long-lived viral reservoir in persistently infected cells, which makes achieving a functional cure difficult; non-invasive methods to study this issue are critical.
- ImmunoPET imaging, using a specific radiolabeled antibody, has been assessed as a way to visualize and evaluate HIV reservoirs and viral activity in infected individuals compared to uninfected controls.
- Results show increased uptake of the imaging agent in tissues of HIV-infected individuals, positively correlating with direct measurements of HIV protein, suggesting a potential method for non-invasive monitoring of HIV persistence and opening avenues for similar applications in other diseases.
