LINC02964 and HIV infectious disease: Furthermore, we sorted p24− and p24+ cells from three viremic individuals and measured LINC02964 expression in these two populations: compared to p24− cells, the expression of LINC02964 was on average 141 times higher in p24+ cells, confirming that active HIV infection is associated with the upregulation of LINC02964 expression (Fig. 8C).
