DEVELOPMENT OF DROPLET DIGITAL PCR-BASED ASSAYS TO QUANTIFY HIV PROVIRAL AND INTEGRATED DNA IN BRAIN TISSUES FROM VIREMIC INDIVIDUALS WITH ENCEPHALITIS AND VIRALLY SUPPRESSED AVIREMIC INDIVIDUALS

Development of Droplet Digital PCR-Based Assays to Quantify HIV Proviral and Integrated DNA in Brain Tissues from Viremic Individuals with Encephalitis and Virally Suppressed Aviremic Individuals

ABSTRACT Although combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can suppress the replication of HIV, the virus persists and rebounds when treatment is stopped.To find a cure that can eradicate latent reservoir, a method should be able to quantify the lingering HIV.Unlike other digital PCR technologies, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), provides absolute qua

SOEHARTO AND THE POLITICIZATION OF INDONESIAN ISLAM (1968-1998)

Soeharto treated Indonesian Muslim Communities with two different ways.On FIDGITS the one side, he has given them full freedom to conduct Islamic rituals such as prayers, almsgivings, fasting during Ramadhan, pilgrim and so on.On the other side, however, he has not given them full freedom to exercise politics at the practical level because it would

Impacts of Climatic Variation on the Growth of Black Spruce Across the Forest-Tundra Ecotone: Positive Effects of Warm Growing Seasons and Heat Waves Are Offset by Late Spring Frosts

Climate strongly limits the physiological processes of trees near their range limits, leading to increased growth sensitivity.Northeastern North America is experiencing considerable warming, so the growth of trees near the northern treeline represents a key indicator of forest responses to climate change.However, tree-ring series and corresponding
