Biography

Prathyusha Kandala has found ACH2 cells can be divided into two phenotypic groups: those that express HIV envelope on their surface before activation and those that do not. She is using single cell proviral DNA sequencing and cellular transcriptome analysis to assess the evolution of intracellular proviral DNAs and the effect of superinfection on cellular transcriptome compared to ACH2 cells that do not surface express envelope when unstimulated, do not contain a C227T back mutation, and are not superinfected.
