Project description
In this project new tools will be optimized to investigate latent HIV infection in vivo. Integration sites will be analyzed by optimizing a technique for sequence specific capture and DNA sequencing of proviral HIV DNA. In addition, a technique to identify latently infected cells based on in situ hybridization will be optimized for laser capture microdissection and gene expression analysis.
