This study identifies CD68+ follicular macrophages in human lymph nodes as HIV reservoirs during suppressive ART, showing they harbor HIV DNA, RNA, and Gagp24 protein.

The paper investigates how DNA methylation and nucleosomal occupancy regulate CXCR5 expression in human lymph node CD8+ T cells, identifying epigenetic mechanisms that repress CXCR5 in non-follicular CD8+ T cells.
