New insights into HIV latent cells yield potential cure targets

Drug Discovery World

This technology defines gene expression patterns from rare cells harbouring latent HIV by generating millions of single-cell reaction containers in the form of water-in-oil emulsions, in which messenger RNA capture and virus DNA detection can be performed sequentially while maintaining segregation among cells.

However, regulators are warning people with allergies to polyethylene glycol (PEG), an excipient in Pfizer’s vaccine, not to get vaccinated just yet. Traditionally, bulk samples are used for genomic profiling, which offers a broad overview of gene expression profiles across a milieu of different cells. Vaccine Considerations.
