Monitoring HIV replication in Cas12a/crRNA expressing SupT1 cells. Cells were infected with 1 ng CA-p24 HIV (at day 0) and cultured for up to 60 days. The day at which massive virus-induced syncytia was observed (representing breakthrough HIV replication) was scored in 6 parallel cultures after infection (day 0). A single TatRev culture was lost due to bacterial contamination. The cultures without virus replication until day 60 were marked as No breakthrough HIV replication (black box). SupT1, non-transduced cells; Ctrl, cells transduced with a control crRNA that does not target HIV. The data reflects mean values ± SD.
