Model of pre-integration and post-integration latency in HIV-1 infected monocytes/macrophages. Pre-integration latency is governed by interplay of host restriction factors including APOBEC3, SAMHD1 and MX2. Such form of latency is more relevant in the cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage. On the other hand, post-integration latency is manifested by several mechanisms that include chromatin remodeling, epigenetic mechanisms and host-encoded miRNAs. Furthermore, Tat mediated reactivation has been also shown. PIC: Pre-Integration Complex.
