| Abstract | An important question in HIV research is whether the combination Antiretroviral Therapy (cART) is capable of fully suppressing the replication of HIV virus. Recent experiments have tested whether this is the case by perturbing the virus dynamics in patients with apparently suppressed HIV replication, as measured by blood viremia levels, by adding an integrase inhibitor raltegravir to the existing cART regimen. Following the addition of raltegravir, a consistent spike followed by decay was observed in the concentrations of a HIV DNA artifact marker, the 2-LTR circle. In previous work, we have shown that a model of ongoing HIV replication explains this behavior, while a model of controlled or absent HIV replication does not. A recent paper by Angeli and Sontag (2012) describes a method of invalidating biological models with sign-definite interactions by considering the monotonicity of the observed outputs relative to the monotonicity of the network description of the model. In this paper, we use this method to evaluate alternative explanations of the observed 2-LTR behavior. We show via monotone system theory that models consistent with the observed non-monotonic response in measured 2-LTR are either biologically infeasible or contain ongoing viral replication. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
