Gene expression profiles of Chlamydophila pneumoniae during the developmental cycle and iron depletion-mediated persistence.

abstract：:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection is a chronic condition, where viral DNA integrates into the genome. Latently infected cells form a persistent, heterogeneous reservoir that at any time can reactivate the integrated HIV-1. Here we confirmed that latently infected cells from HIV-1 positive study par...
