a Overview of the STIP-Seq assay. CD4 T cells are stimulated for 24 h with PMA (162 nM)/ionomycin (1 μg/mL). Cells are fixed and permeabilized with methanol, and p24-producing cells are identified using a combination of two antibodies (KC57 and 28B7) targeting the p24 protein. p24+ cells are single-cell sorted by flow cytometry. DNA from p24+ cells is amplified by multiple displacement amplification, before performing near full-length (NFL) proviral genome sequencing, integration site analysis, TCR sequencing, and post hoc determination of the CD4 T cell memory phenotype.
