Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of drug treatments on viral persistence in the in vitro infection model (A) Assay overview. Schematic representation of the assay protocol involving the HIV-1 NL4-3 -infected cell culture model (Jurkat/NL cells). (B) Changes in supernatant p24 levels without drugs, with 5 nM PEP005 or 50 nM EFdA, or with a combination of 50 nM EFdA and 5 nM PEP005 (n = 11, 9, 11, and 11, respectively). Drug treatment was terminated on week 9, but analysis continued for an additional 8 weeks. (C) Log rank test comparison of the percentage of non-recurrence in the EFdA single treatment and the combination treatment.

Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of various combinations of antiretroviral drugs and LRAs on viral persistence (A–C) Changes in HIV-1 production under treatment with 5 nM PEP005, 50 nM EFdA, and/or 500 nM DRV (protease inhibitor) (A); 5 nM PEP005 and/or 50 nM DTG (integrase inhibitor) (B); 100 nM EFdA, 500 nM SAHA (HDAC inhibitor), and/or 500 nM prostratin (PKC activator) (C). (D) EFdA at different concentrations (50 nM, 200 nM, or 1 μM) was examined. A higher concentration of EFdA (200 nM and 1 μM) slightly delayed the recurrence of supernatant viruses post treatment interruption. (E–H) Effect of different drug treatment protocols in the WIPE assay. (E) Changes in supernatant p24 levels with 50 nM EFdA for 9 weeks and then FFdA + PEP005 (5 nM) for an additional 9 weeks (n = 6). (F) Analysis of HIV-1 mRNA transcripts after TNF-α stimulation in cells without viral rebound on week 26 (three samples). (G) Changes in supernatant p24 levels with EFdA + PEP005 followed by the EFdA treatment for 9 weeks. (H) Analysis of HIV-1 mRNA transcripts after TNF-α stimulation in cells without viral rebound on week 26 (four samples). Asterisk (∗) represents below detection limit.

Figure Legend Snippet: HIV-1 infection dynamics with antiviral drugs in the WIPE assay (A) Fitting of the mathematical model to the experimental data in the WIPE assay without and with antiviral drug(s): numbers of uninfected and latently infected cells (cells/mL), virus-producing cells (cells/mL), supernatant p24 (pg/mL), and normalized proviral DNA. The shadowed regions correspond to 95% posterior predictive intervals, the solid lines gave the best-fit solution (mean) for the mathematical model, and the colored dots show the experimental datasets. All data were fitted simultaneously. (B) The distribution for the time until reactivation without and with PEP005 treatment calculated from all accepted MCMC parameter estimates is shown in green and blue, respectively. These lengths were significantly shorter with PEP005 treatment than without treatment, as assessed by the repeated bootstrap t test.

Each horizontal bar represents an individual HIV-1 genome, as determined by amplification of near full-length HIV-1 DNA from a single HIV-1 genome and DNA sequencing. The gray bars denote full-length types, and the red bars indicate defective proviruses. (C) Pie charts reflecting the proportion of defective and intact proviruses in experiment 6.
