Furthermore, HNRNPA2B1 levels at 4 weeks after infection have been associated with HIV-1 set-point levels, and previous studies have suggested that HNRNPA2B1 can interact with viral components, have a critical role in regulating the viral life cycle, and function as a viral DNA sensor initiating IFN production48,49.
