In parallel with the downregulation of LINC02964 expression with ASOs 1–3, the percentage of p24+ cells was decreased compared to the NTC (means = 6.1% p24+ cells for NTC, and 2.3%, 1.6% and 2.8% p24+ cells for ASOs 1, 2 and 3, respectively), suggesting that LINC02964 favors active HIV infection (Fig. 8E). The gene discussed is LINC02964; the disease is HIV infectious disease.
