The aim of this project was to use HDAC inhibitors in an attempt to recapitulate HIV-1 latency reversion, but in mice. Romidepsin was used to assess whether it had effects on viral vectored vaccines. This was used in vivo, using luciferase reporter and IVIS. Romidepsin had been previously used in mice, macaques and humans to activate the viral reservoir.
